Using R80 Smart Console, what does a "pencil icon" in a rule mean?
The correct answer is A. I have changed this rule. In Check Point R80 SmartConsole, a pencil icon on a rule marks a change made by the currently logged-in administrator within their own active session.

Why each option
In Check Point R80 SmartConsole, a pencil icon on a rule marks a change made by the currently logged-in administrator within their own active session.
The pencil icon is a session-scoped edit indicator in SmartConsole, appearing only on rules the current user has modified during their login session. It distinguishes the administrator's own uncommitted changes from changes owned by other sessions. Other administrators' edits are indicated by a lock icon showing which session owns the change.
Changes made by other administrators are shown with a lock or session-ownership indicator, not a pencil - the pencil is exclusive to the current user's own edits.
There is no SmartConsole pencil icon designation for rules managed by Check Point's SOC; that is not a built-in SmartConsole workflow indicator.
Implied rules are system-enforced and non-editable, so they cannot display a pencil edit icon; they are shown in a separate implied rules section of the policy.
