Explanation

When using js2ai to convert a JumpStart sysidcfg file, the tool explicitly flags certain keywords as unsupported because they have no direct equivalent mapping in the AI sc_profile.xml schema. Both terminal = zterms (A) and system_locale = en_US (D) fall into this unsupported category - terminal has no counterpart in AI's system configuration profile, and system_locale is not a recognized sc_profile keyword (locale is handled separately in AI manifests).

The distractors are all supported conversions: timezone (C) maps cleanly to the AI time zone setting, network_interface=PRIMARY (E) is handled by the network configuration section, and root_password (F) converts directly to the AI credential block. Option B (name_service=NIS+) is also supported, as js2ai can translate NIS+ name service entries into the appropriate sc_profile structure.

Memory tip: Think "T-D unsupported" - Terminal type and Display locale (system_locale) are old-school interactive-install concepts that AI simply doesn't use, while networking, passwords, and time zones are infrastructure settings that carry over. If a setting relates to how a human sat at a console configured the old system, js2ai likely can't map it.
