Solution
Correct answer: C) Use Google Cloud Directory Sync to create users.
Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS) is specifically designed to synchronize user and group information between your on-premises LDAP directory and Google Cloud's identity and access management services. It allows you to provision Google accounts and groups based on the user information stored in your LDAP database, including passwords, group memberships, and organizational structures. This ensures consistency between your on-premises user management system and your Google Cloud resources, facilitating centralized management and access control.
