Explanation

In a standalone Cisco ISE deployment (a single node), all three personas - Administration (PAN), Policy Service (PSN), and Monitoring (MnT) - are enabled by default on that node and cannot be individually disabled or reconfigured. This is a key architectural restriction: standalone mode does not allow persona management. In a distributed deployment, an administrator can designate which personas are active on each node and can disable specific personas. Options A and B are incorrect - the Policy Service persona is not the only one that can be modified, and the domain name actually cannot be changed post-installation (but this applies to all deployments, not just standalone). Option D is partially true in practice (hostname changes require reinstallation), but the defining restriction of standalone mode is the inability to edit personas.
