C.

In Salesforce, the locale refers to the language, date, and time format settings for a user. An organization's default locale setting impacts how the system displays date and time formats, currency symbols, and other regional settings.

When an organization level locale changes, it impacts all users in the organization. The answer to the question is C: No Impact on the User as he keeps using his own default Locale.

This means that the user will continue to see Salesforce in the same language, date, and time format as before, regardless of the organization's locale changes. Salesforce allows users to set their own language and locale preferences, which override the organization's default settings.

For example, if the organization changes the default locale from English (US) to Spanish (Mexico), a user who had previously set their own locale to English (UK) will continue to see Salesforce in English (UK) even though the organization's default is now Spanish (Mexico).

It's important to note that the organization's default locale setting can impact other aspects of Salesforce beyond just date and time formats, such as currency conversion rates and spell-check dictionaries. Administrators should communicate any changes to the organization's default locale to their users and ensure that they have the ability to set their own preferences if needed.
