Explanation

ACL (Access Control) scripts execute server-side in ServiceNow. The correct server-side methods are: 'gs.hasRole()' from the GlideSystem class, used to check if the current user has a specific role; and 'current.isNewRecord()' from GlideRecord, used to check if the record being accessed is new. 'g_user.hasRole()' is a client-side GlideUser method used in client scripts and UI policies - it is NOT available in server-side ACL scripts. 'current.isNew()' is not a valid GlideRecord method; the correct method name is 'isNewRecord()'. Therefore, only option B contains both correct server-side methods.
