Explanation

Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) is purpose-built for authenticating users via Google identity and enforcing access controls based on identity and group membership. Since all employees use G Suite, you can create a Google Group for the finance department and restrict IAP access to that group - this simultaneously authenticates users and verifies department membership without any code changes to the application. Cloud Armor (options C and D) operates at the network/IP layer and can only restrict by IP ranges, not by user identity or organizational group. It cannot verify whether a user belongs to the finance department.
