What option retains manual settings while applying new inherited ones?

• A. Make All Inherit
• B. Per-Computer Settings
• C. Web Access Control
• D. Keep All Settings

Answer: (D)

When you apply new inherited settings, you want to keep the work you’ve already done on a device or policy unless you specifically want to override it. Keep All Settings does exactly that: it preserves the manual changes you’ve made and brings in the inherited values for settings you haven’t customized. This creates a merged configuration where your local adjustments stay intact while any new inherited settings are applied where you haven’t overridden them.

If you chose an option that makes all settings inherit, manual tweaks would be overwritten by the inherited values, which could erase your local customizations. A per-computer setting approach describes how settings are scoped to individual machines rather than how inheritance interacts with manual overrides. Web Access Control is a feature area, not a method for handling how inherited and manual settings are merged. Keep All Settings is the right choice because it restores a balance: you don’t lose your hard-set configurations, and you still benefit from inherited policy updates.
