I recall that we talked about syncing passwords from Active Directory, so option D might be relevant, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s the best choice here.

I’m a bit confused about whether we should manage everything in Active Directory or if Google Workspace can handle the password policy on its own.

I think option B sounds familiar because we practiced a similar question about setting password requirements in organizational units. It seems like the right approach.

I'm a little unsure about the difference between Option C and Option D. I'll need to double-check the details on password synchronization and how that interacts with the Active Directory policy.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to enable the strong password enforcement in Google Workspace and sync that with the Active Directory policy. Option B seems like the way to go.
