The scenario says to apply an application control policy to all marketing users.
All marketing users can only use computers in the marketing\computers OU.

It is possible that sales users can also access computers in that OU, so an application control policy set on GP03 would restrict that application for Sales users as well, and we may not want that. Why isn’t GP04 a better solution? Can someone provide clear documentation on why GP03 is the correct answer?

I agree with you and answered GPO4 too, but “AppLocker is a computer-based policy implementation” (1st table on https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee449496(v=ws.11).aspx) so, I think, it’s a better way to link it to computers OU. To not apply to an other department (like sales department), you can use “security filtering” to only apply to marketing users.
