Explanation

Virtual systems (vsys) in PAN-OS inherit global service routes by default when no vsys-specific service routes are configured. This inheritance model allows administrators to define a global default for services like DNS, NTP, and syslog, while selectively overriding only the vsys instances that need different routing. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: vsys can have dedicated service routes (contradicting C), they are not limited to a single interface (contradicting B), and the interface is not mandatorily the same for all vsys service traffic (contradicting D).
