Explanation
Hierarchical firewall policies in Google Cloud allow rules to be applied at the organization, folder, or project level and cascade downward. Creating a folder-level deny-all rule for outbound traffic blocks all egress from every project under the non-production folder by default. Then, within specific VPCs that need external access, lower-priority FQDN-based allowlist rules can override the folder-level deny for only those designated FQDNs. This architecture satisfies all requirements: the default is deny, specific FQDNs are permitted per VPC, and internal services are never exposed. Option A creates a global allowlist, which is too permissive. Option C applies a broad deny but the override mechanism described is not specific to VPCs. Option D uses Cloud NAT with IP filtering, which cannot perform FQDN-based filtering.
