Answer: c. password settings object

Step-by-step explanation:

Password Settings Object PSO is an active directory object, which enables an administrator to configure password settings for users or groups that are different from those defined in a Group Policy Objects GPO linked to the domain. When PSO is applied to some users they no longer use password policy from the the GPO, instead they use PSO settings

Answer:

c. password settings object

Step-by-step explanation:

A password settings object(PSO) is an active directory object which has all the password settings that can be found in the Default Domain Policy GPO. When it is applied the user or the group no longer uses the settings from the Default Domain Policy GPO but the PSO. Although a user can be linked to two PSOs, only one is applied using the (Resultant Set of Policy(RSoP).
