Explanation

Role inheritance in Splunk allows a role to inherit all capabilities, indexes, and permissions from one or more parent roles. This means you can create a parent role with broad permissions and have child roles inherit those permissions, effectively aggregating multiple roles for groups of users. For example, a 'compliance_team' role can inherit from 'power' and 'can_delete' roles, gaining all their combined capabilities. 'Grantable roles' (B) refers to the ability to grant roles to other users, not aggregation. 'Linked roles' (A) and 'Role federation' (C) are not standard Splunk role features.
