Explanation

GitHub Actions environments support required reviewers, which force a workflow job to pause and wait for manual approval before proceeding. When a job references a deployment environment that has required reviewers configured, the workflow halts at that job until one of the designated reviewers approves it. This is the correct mechanism for human gating in a workflow. Option A (branch protection rules) controls merges, not workflow progression. Options B and D describe non-existent GitHub permission types for workflow approval.
