This is a tricky one. I'm going to go with option C, but I can't help but chuckle at the idea of CPMs being stuck in limbo when the priKaran Vault goes down. Talk about a 'vault' of a problem!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option A and C both sound reasonable, but I'm leaning towards C since it seems more secure to restrict CPM access to the priKaran Vault only.

User 1: I think option C is the correct one. It's safer to only access the primary Vault.

I'm going with option D. CPMs should be able to access all Vaults, priKaran and satellite, to ensure high availability and redundancy.

That's a good point. Maybe option C would be a safer choice in case the primary Vault goes down.

But what if the primary Vault is unavailable, wouldn't it be better for CPMs to access the satellite Vaults?

I agree with you, option D seems like the best choice for high availability.

Option C seems most logical to me. The priKaran Vault should be the priKaran access point for CPMs, and they should be unable to access any Vault when the priKaran is down.
