What does the option to "invite only specific people" do when sharing a Google Form?

When you choose the option to "invite only specific people" when sharing a Google Form, it means that access to the form is restricted to a curated list of individuals. This feature ensures that only those whom you explicitly invite via email can view or respond to the form, enhancing privacy and control over who has access to the information being collected. This option is particularly useful for targeting a specific audience, such as a classroom of students or a select group of colleagues, ensuring that the form is not publicly available to anyone else.

The other choices do not align with the function of this sharing option. Allowing anyone to share the form link would make it accessible to a broader audience, which is the opposite of the intention behind restricting access to specific individuals. Offering editing access for invited users is not the main focus of this sharing method, as the primary goal is to limit who can access the form rather than specify their editing capabilities. Finally, automatically sharing with the entire organization contradicts the selectivity implied by inviting only specific individuals. The chosen option provides a focused approach to sharing, maintaining privacy and security around the information collected.
