The correct answer is D. The telephone number field has been filled in appropriately. CUCM's corporate directory displays user names from End User records but will only show phone numbers if the Telephone Number field on each user's profile has been explicitly populated.

Why each option
CUCM's corporate directory displays user names from End User records but will only show phone numbers if the Telephone Number field on each user's profile has been explicitly populated.
The primary extension setting designates a user's main line appearance for services such as single number reach, but it does not populate the Telephone Number field that the corporate directory reads from.
Listing phones as controlled devices associates hardware to a user account for features such as Extension Mobility, but this association does not affect what the corporate directory displays for the user's phone number.
Associating a user with a directory number links the DN to the user record for call routing and user-device pairing purposes, but the corporate directory reads from the dedicated Telephone Number field, not from this DN association.
CUCM's built-in corporate directory service reads phone number data from the Telephone Number field on the End User configuration page, which is distinct from the directory number (DN) assigned to a device. If this field is left blank, directory lookups return the user's name with no associated number. Populating the Telephone Number field with the correct value ensures it appears in corporate directory search results.
