Question
Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains the computers shown in the following table. On Server3, you create a Group Policy Object (GPO) named GPO1 and link GPO1 to contoso.com.

Why each option
When Group Policy Preference Item-Level Targeting specifies a condition, the preference item is applied only to targets that meet that specific condition, overriding broader GPO links.
Group Policy Item-Level Targeting (ILT) ensures that a specific preference item, like Shortcut1, is applied only when its defined conditions are met. Since Shortcut1 has ILT configured as 'Computer is Server3', the preference will only apply to Server3, irrespective of the GPO's link to the entire domain.
Computer1 will not receive Shortcut1 because its item-level targeting explicitly specifies 'Computer is Server3', excluding other computers.
Server2 will not receive Shortcut1 because the item-level targeting explicitly restricts its application to 'Computer is Server3'.
Server1 and Server2 will not receive Shortcut1 because the item-level targeting specifically limits its application to 'Computer is Server3', overriding the general GPO link.
