Google Workspace Associate Administrator — Question 1

You are configuring email for your company’s Google Workspace account. The company wants to prevent certain types of files from being sent or received as email attachments in the simplest and most cost-effective way. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Adjust the maximum message size limit to prevent large files from being sent or received.
• B. Enable the Security Sandbox in Gmail to automatically quarantine emails with suspicious attachments.
• C. Scan all incoming and outgoing emails for malicious attachments by using an industry standard third-party email security solution.
• D. Configure an attachment compliance rule in Gmail settings to block specific file types.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because configuring an attachment compliance rule directly addresses the requirement to block specific file types from being sent or received. Option A does not meet the need for file type restriction, while B and C focus on security and scanning rather than explicitly blocking specified file types.
