Explanation
When a vendor confirms SAML 2.0 compatibility and provides metadata, the correct step is to create a custom SAML application in the Google Admin console. You upload the vendor's metadata (or enter the details manually), and Google Workspace acts as the SAML Identity Provider (IdP). Option A is incorrect because SAML uses signed XML assertions, not API keys. Option B (2FA) improves security but is unrelated to SSO setup. Option C (Sign In with Google) uses OAuth/OpenID Connect, not SAML, and does not constitute a formal SSO integration with the vendor's system.
