Explanation
In Splunk's role-based access control, child roles inherit (B) Capabilities - the specific actions a role is permitted to perform (e.g., run searches, schedule alerts) - and (C) Index access - which indexes the role is allowed to search. These permissions cascade down from parent to child roles, giving the child at least the same level of access as the parent. Option A (Parents) is not something that is inherited - a child role can have its own parent assignments, but the grandparent relationships do not automatically carry over as a discrete inherited property. Option D (Search history) is user-specific and is never inherited by roles.
