Explanation
Google Workspace domain verification requires adding a TXT record to your DNS zone file. Google provides a unique verification token (TXT record value) that you add via your domain registrar or DNS host; once Google's servers detect the record, the domain is verified. This method proves domain ownership without disrupting email routing. Option A (manual support verification) is not a standard process Google offers. Option B (MX record) configures email routing but does not verify ownership. Option D (SSL certificate) is unrelated to domain verification in Google Workspace.
