• B
  23% (12)
• C

• E
  15% (8)

Explanation

Options A and D are both correct because the configuration applies the IN_OFFICE_ON_WEEKEND rule specifically to JIM's connection profile, making "in the office on weekends" the only condition under which JIM could theoretically connect (D). However, because this is an extremely narrow - effectively impossible - condition for JIM to satisfy in practice, JIM can never connect at all (A); D and A are two sides of the same coin describing a locked-out user. B is wrong because TOM is affected by this configuration (the rule changes something about TOM's access path, so "no effect" is false). C is wrong because TOM is not completely blocked - TOM retains connection ability under normal conditions. E is wrong because JIM is directly and severely impacted - the rule gates JIM's entire access.

Memory tip: When you see two seemingly contradictory answers about the same user (A = "never" vs D = "only when..."), ask yourself: "Is the 'only when' condition actually impossible to meet?" If yes, both are true simultaneously - the rule describes a theoretical path (D) that is practically unreachable (A).
