Google Workspace Associate Administrator — Question 33

Your company wants to start using Google Workspace for email. Your domain is verified through a third-party provider. You need to route the email to Google Workspace. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Change your domain’s A record to point to Google’s mail servers.
• B. Configure a forwarding rule in your current email system to redirect all messages to Gmail.
• C. Update your domain’s MX records to the Google Workspace MX records provided in the setup instructions.
• D. Create a CNAME record that maps your domain to “gmail.com.”

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because updating the domain's MX records to the Google Workspace MX records is essential for directing email to the Google servers. Option A is incorrect because A records are not used for email routing; they are meant for pointing to IP addresses. Option B does not configure the domain for Google Workspace, and while option D involves a CNAME record, it does not properly route email traffic.
