Explanation

Organizational Units (OUs) are the correct mechanism in Google Workspace for applying different policies to different sets of users. By placing sales and marketing users in one OU and engineering users in another, you can configure distinct Google Drive external sharing settings for each OU-enabling external sharing for sales/marketing and disabling it for engineering. Option A (DLP) is designed to detect and prevent data leakage based on content, not to control sharing permissions by department. Option B (separate shared drives) only governs sharing for content within those drives, not users' personal My Drives. Option D (Drive trust rules) controls which external domains are trusted, but does not restrict sharing by department-level policy.
