Why each option
The effective minimum password length for User1 is 7, as password policies in Active Directory are typically enforced by the Default Domain Policy unless Fine-Grained Password Policies are configured.
Password policies, including minimum password length, are applied at the domain level by the Default Domain Policy or a GPO linked directly to the domain root. GPOs linked to OUs or applied via security filtering to groups will not override the domain's password policy for domain user accounts unless Fine-Grained Password Policies are explicitly implemented, which is not indicated here.
8 is not the minimum length specified by the Default Domain Policy or any applicable GPO for domain users.
10 is the length from a GPO linked to OU1, but OU-linked GPOs do not override the domain-level password policy for domain accounts.
12 is the length from a GPO linked to Group1, but group-filtered GPOs do not override the domain-level password policy for domain accounts.
14 is not a specified password length from any of the given GPOs.
