Why each option

In Novell eDirectory, the special trustee [Public] represents all unauthenticated connections. By default it receives Browse object rights to the tree root, enabling anonymous users to see directory objects.

APublicCorrect

[Public] is a built-in eDirectory pseudo-trustee that applies to every connection that has not authenticated to the directory. By default, [Public] is granted Browse object rights at the [Root] of the tree, which causes this right to flow down through inheritance and allows unauthenticated users to enumerate objects throughout the tree.

B[ROOT]

[ROOT] is the topmost container object in the tree and is not a trustee entity whose default rights assignment governs unauthenticated access.

CThe server object

The server object holds the eDirectory replica and database but does not carry a default rights assignment that permits unauthenticated browsing.

DThe top-level container object in the tree

The top-level container object is a location in the tree hierarchy, not a trustee entity with a default assignment that grants unauthenticated browse access.
