The correct answer is F. Browse, Rename, Inheritable. In eDirectory, the Inheritable flag on a trustee assignment causes object rights to flow to subordinate objects, but the Create right is not applicable to leaf objects such as Server objects, so only Browse, Rename, and Inheritable remain effective.

Why each option

In eDirectory, the Inheritable flag on a trustee assignment causes object rights to flow to subordinate objects, but the Create right is not applicable to leaf objects such as Server objects, so only Browse, Rename, and Inheritable remain effective.

ASupervisor

Supervisor was never included in JCorry's trustee assignment on the DA container and cannot appear as an inherited right on subordinate objects.

BInheritable

Inheritable alone is a modifier flag on a rights assignment, not a standalone access right, so listing it by itself does not represent a valid effective rights set.

CBrowse, Create

This omits the Inheritable flag that was explicitly assigned, and the Create right does not flow to leaf objects regardless.

DRead, Inheritable

Read is a property right, not an object right, and was never part of the trustee assignment granted on the DA container.

ECreate, Rename, Inheritable

The Create object right does not flow to leaf objects like Server objects in eDirectory, making its inclusion in the effective rights incorrect.

FBrowse, Rename, InheritableCorrect

When JCorry is granted Browse, Create, Rename, and Inheritable rights as a trustee of the DA container, the Inheritable flag causes those rights to propagate to objects in subordinate containers like Corp. The Create object right is only meaningful on container objects because it grants the ability to create child objects within them - it does not apply to or inherit to leaf objects like Server objects, leaving Browse, Rename, and Inheritable as her effective rights on those servers.

GSupervisor, Browse, Create, Rename, Inheritable

Supervisor was never granted in the assignment, and Create does not carry over to leaf objects, so this combination overstates JCorry's effective rights.
