Object overrides are used in Cisco Firepower to customize specific security settings for individual objects, allowing for more granular control over network security.

Out of the given options, network objects support object overrides.

Network objects in Firepower are used to represent IP addresses, ranges, or subnets, and can be used to define source and destination addresses in access control rules, network address translations (NAT), and other policies.

When an object override is configured for a network object, it allows you to override certain settings for that object, such as the security level, application inspection, and intrusion policy. For example, you could create an object override for a specific IP address to allow a certain application that is normally blocked by default.

Time ranges, security group tags, and DNS server groups are other types of objects that can be used in Firepower, but they do not support object overrides.

Time ranges are used to define specific times during which a policy should be enforced or disabled. Security group tags are used to group hosts or networks together based on shared security requirements. DNS server groups are used to group DNS servers together for use in access control rules and other policies.

In summary, network objects are the only object type out of the options given that supports object overrides in Cisco Firepower.
