In a policy evaluation scenario, which policy takes effect in the event of a conflict?

• A. Policy B
• B. Policy D
• C. Policy C
• D. Policy A

Answer: (D)

Policy precedence governs which rule applies when multiple policies could govern a request. The evaluation process follows a defined order, and when there is a conflict, the policy with the highest precedence takes effect and its rules apply. In this scenario, Policy A has the highest precedence, so its rules determine the outcome whenever a conflict occurs. That’s why Policy A is the one that takes effect. If another policy had higher precedence, it would win in the same way; with Policy A at the top, it overrides competing policies.
