In Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch, roles are used to define access control and permissions for different users. A user can have multiple roles assigned to them. In this scenario, the question asks what happens when multiple roles are applied to a user.

The correct answer is A. The last role assigned takes precedence over previous roles. This means that if a user has multiple roles assigned to them, the permissions of the last role assigned will take priority over the previous roles.

For example, if a user has Role A and Role B assigned to them, and Role A allows access to Command X while Role B denies access to Command X, the user will be denied access to Command X because the permissions of the last role assigned (Role B) take precedence over the previous role (Role A).

Option B is incorrect because access to a command is not prioritized over being denied access to a command. If a user is denied access to a command in any of their assigned roles, they will not be able to execute that command.

Option C is also incorrect because conflicting settings between roles do not result in denied commands. Instead, the last assigned role's permission will take precedence.

Option D is also incorrect because the first role assigned will not take precedence over subsequent roles. The last assigned role will always take precedence.
