Explanation

The Domain Shared Contacts API allows administrators to add external contacts to the Google Workspace directory at the domain level, making them visible to all users in Gmail's autocomplete and contact search. This is the correct, scalable solution for exposing 3,000 shared contacts domain-wide. Option A (CSV upload to Drive) makes the file available but does not integrate the contacts into Gmail's directory or autocomplete. Option B (GCDS) synchronizes user accounts, groups, and organizational units from LDAP/Active Directory - it does not sync external contacts from Exchange public folders. Option D (creating a dedicated user account and delegating) is a brittle workaround, not a best practice, and does not scale to domain-wide visibility.
