When using the Cisco VCS command line, what happens if you use an existing option index to add an extra option Key?
The correct answer is D. The existing option is overwritten and provides the functionality of both option keys. On the Cisco VCS CLI, reusing an existing option index to add a new option key overwrites the existing key while combining the functionality of both keys into the new entry.

Why each option
On the Cisco VCS CLI, reusing an existing option index to add a new option key overwrites the existing key while combining the functionality of both keys into the new entry.
The system does not generate an error or cancel the operation - it silently overwrites the existing index entry with the new key.
The new key is immediately active and does provide functionality - it is not held in a disabled or pending state waiting for the old key to be removed.
The existing option's functionality is not lost - the overwrite preserves and merges the functionality of both keys rather than discarding the original capabilities.
When you specify an existing index number to add a new option key on the Cisco VCS command line, the system replaces the stored key at that index with the new value. The resulting entry provides the combined or merged functionality of the previously installed key and the newly entered key, so no functionality is lost from the original key while the new capabilities are also activated.
