Why each option

In R80, a padlock icon next to a rule indicates that another administrator has that rule locked in their active editing session.

ADNS Rule is using one of the new feature of R80 where an administrator can mark a rule with the

R80 does not include a feature that allows administrators to manually mark or lock a rule with a padlock for annotation purposes.

BAnother administrator is logged into the Management and currently editing the DNS Rule.Correct

R80 introduced concurrent administration, allowing multiple administrators to be logged in simultaneously. When one administrator is actively editing a rule within their session, a padlock icon appears next to that rule for other administrators, indicating it is locked and currently being modified by another session.

CDNS Rule is a placeholder rule for a rule that existed in the past but was deleted.

Deleted rules are removed from the Rule Base entirely; there is no placeholder padlock mechanism for previously deleted rules.

DThis is normal behavior in R80 when there are duplicate rules in the Rule Base.

Duplicate rules do not trigger a padlock icon; R80 does not use padlocks to flag duplicate entries.
