Why each option

In Check Point SmartConsole, rules locked by one administrator remain unavailable to others until that administrator publishes their session, which releases the locks.

ARule is locked by AdminA, because the save bottom has not been press.

Saving a session in SmartConsole does not release locks - only publishing the session commits changes and releases rule locks to other concurrent administrators.

BRule is locked by AdminA, because an object on that rule is been edited.

While editing an object contributes to locking related rules, the locked icon visible to other admins reflects the session-level lock, which is only resolved through publishing, not through finishing an edit.

CRule is locked by AdminA, and will make it available if session is published.Correct

SmartConsole uses a session-based concurrent administration model where each admin's changes lock associated rules and objects. These locks are held for the duration of the admin's unpublished session and are only released when the session is published, at which point the changes are committed to the shared policy and the affected rules become available to other administrators.

DRule is locked by AdminA, and if the session is saved, rule will be available

Saving a session persists changes locally for the admin but does not publish them or release rule locks; availability to other admins requires a full publish operation.
