Explanation

Organization base permissions (default repository access levels set for all members) apply only to organization members - they do not apply to outside collaborators (A). Outside collaborators are granted access only to the specific repositories they are explicitly invited to, regardless of the organization's base permission setting. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: 2FA requirements can apply to outside collaborators; outside collaborators can be granted admin rights on a specific repository; and outside collaborators do count against paid license seats on most GitHub plans.
