A. The users of the various organizations within the federations within the federation/a CASB
B. Each member organization/a trusted third party
C. Each member organization/each member organization
D. A contracted third party/the various member organizations of the federation

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation: In a trusted third-party model of federation, each member organization outsources the review and approval task to a third party they all trust. This makes the third party the identifier (it issues and manages identities for all users in all organizations in the federation), and the various member organizations are the relying parties (the resource providers that share resources based on approval from the third party).
