Explanation

Options C and D are identically worded in this question, which suggests a likely transcription error - in the original source, D probably specifies creating a global security profile that spans both the India and US Business Groups, rather than two separate, isolated profiles. This is the correct approach because a single global security profile can be configured to include employees from multiple business groups, allowing the India manager to view direct reports in both BGs under one responsibility.

Why A and B are wrong: Setting the global security profile to use Assignment-Based or Person-Based Hierarchy only controls how the reporting hierarchy is traversed (by assignment or by person record) - neither option alone solves the cross-business-group visibility problem, since those hierarchy types don't inherently grant access across BG boundaries.

Why C is wrong (as typically intended): Creating two separate security profiles scoped to each individual business group would require the manager to switch responsibilities to access each one - which directly contradicts the requirement.

Memory tip: Think "Global profile = Global access." Whenever an exam scenario says "without switching responsibility" + "multiple business groups," the answer almost always involves a global security profile configuration, not isolated per-BG profiles.
