An object has inherited permissions from two parent objects. What is true about the permissions on the object?
The correct answer is B. The permissions are combined from both parent objects.. When an object inherits permissions from multiple parent objects, all permissions from every parent are combined and applied to the child object.

Why each option
When an object inherits permissions from multiple parent objects, all permissions from every parent are combined and applied to the child object.
Taking only the intersection of permissions across parents would be overly restrictive and is not how standard permission inheritance operates.
In standard permission inheritance models, permissions flow down from all parent objects and are accumulated into a union set. The effective permissions on an object are the combination of every inherited permission from every parent in the hierarchy, ensuring no access granted by any parent is silently dropped.
Inheritance explicitly means permissions are passed down from parents; discarding all inherited permissions would defeat the purpose of the inheritance model.
Permission inheritance is deterministic and rule-based, not random - there is no mechanism to randomly select permissions from one parent over another.
