Answer before reveal
Your draft
Write the answer you would give in an interview. The model answer stays hidden until you have drafted at least a short response.
A strong answer
Separate identity and consent per tenant, make context explicit for every operation, isolate tenant-specific state, bound concurrency, centralize safe telemetry, handle throttling per API and design retries so a transient failure cannot duplicate a state change.
Show it concretely
Describe a tenant work item that carries TenantId, workload identity reference, correlation ID and intended operation instead of relying on one global session.
Expect this follow-up
How would you prove that one tenant's token or cached context cannot affect another tenant's work?
