Explanation

Drive Trust Rules (configured in Admin console > Apps > Google Workspace > Drive and Docs > Sharing settings > Trust Rules) allow administrators to create targeted exceptions to broader sharing restrictions. By creating a trust rule that permits external sharing for the marketing OU and scoping it specifically to their Shared Drive, you grant the necessary access without weakening security for the rest of the organization. Option B (updating the top-level policy) would allow external sharing for all users, removing protections for the entire organization. Option C (adding vendors as Contributors) cannot be done if the policy blocks external sharing at the OU level-the sharing restriction must be lifted first. Option D (changing General access defaults) affects discoverability settings, not the external sharing restriction that is blocking the marketing team.
