Why each option

To share a specific Case-Defect_c junction object record, sharing access must be granted to both of its parent Case and Defect_c records.

AShare the Case_Defect_c record.

Sharing the junction object directly is not the primary mechanism, as its access is inherently controlled by its parent masters in a master-detail relationship.

BShare the parent Case record.

Sharing only the parent Case record is insufficient as the junction object also has a master-detail relationship with Defect_c.

CShare the parent Defect_c record.

Sharing only the parent Defect_c record is insufficient as the junction object also has a master-detail relationship with Case.

DShare the parent Case and Defect_c records.Correct

Junction objects derive their sharing from both parent master records. Therefore, to share a specific Case_Defect_c record with a user, access to both the related Case record and the related Defect_c record must be explicitly granted.
