Refer to the exhibit. If George addresses a message by entering extension 3002, which match does Cisco Unity Connection return?
The correct answer is B. Cisco Unity Connection returns Alice as the match. Unity Connection resolves an extension to the first match found when searching partitions in the order defined by the caller's search space.

Why each option
Unity Connection resolves an extension to the first match found when searching partitions in the order defined by the caller's search space.
Bill's partition containing extension 3002 is ranked lower in George's search space than Alice's partition, so the system never reaches Bill's entry once Alice is matched.
Alice is returned because the search space assigned to George's mailbox searches Alice's partition before Bill's partition, and Unity Connection stops at the first match it finds. The deterministic, ordered nature of search space partition evaluation means Alice at extension 3002 is resolved before Bill's entry for the same extension is ever checked.
Unity Connection does not return multiple matches for a single extension lookup - it returns only the first match found based on partition order within the search space.
Unity Connection extension resolution is fully deterministic and governed by search space partition ordering, not random selection between candidates.
