Explanation

When a table is extended (a child table is created from a parent), the new table automatically inherits all fields, business rules, client scripts, UI policies, access controls, and other configurations from the parent table. This is a core feature of ServiceNow's table inheritance model. Option C is the opposite of what happens. Option B is incorrect because inherited ACLs do apply to the child table. Option D is incorrect because you do not need to manually re-script inherited behaviors.
