A. B. C. D.C.
In Salesforce, OWD (Organization Wide Defaults) determines the default level of access that all users have to records they don't own. It defines the baseline level of access for records that are owned by users in your organization.
Sharing rules are a way to open up access to records beyond the OWD settings by providing additional access to users or groups. Sharing rules allow administrators to specify additional levels of access for records based on criteria such as ownership, record type, or field values.
However, not all OWD sharing defaults can be used to define Sharing Rules. The correct answer to this question is A. OWD is Private.
If OWD is set to Private, Sharing Rules cannot be defined. This is because the Private setting restricts access to records to only the owner of the record, and any users above the owner in the role hierarchy. Sharing Rules cannot grant access beyond the owner and the role hierarchy, so there is no additional access to provide.
On the other hand, if OWD is set to Public Read Only or Public Read Write, Sharing Rules can be defined. This is because the Public settings allow access to all users in the organization, but Sharing Rules can provide additional access to specific users or groups.
In summary, Sharing Rules can be created on OWD settings of Public Read Only and Public Read Write, but cannot be defined on OWD setting of Private.
