A) The deployed permission set will only contain changes related to the change set. That's what I always do, and it's never let me down!

I have a feeling D is wrong because I recall that existing settings usually remain intact unless explicitly overwritten.

I practiced a similar question, and I think C makes sense because it sounds like the changes would merge with the existing settings.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like B could be tricky since field-level security changes are often sensitive.

I remember something about how change sets only include specific changes, so I think A might be correct.

This seems straightforward to me. The changes in the change set will fully replace the existing permission set, so option D is correct. I'm confident that's the right approach here.

I'm a little confused on the difference between options B and C. Do the changes only manage the existing permission set, or will it completely overwrite it? I want to make sure I understand that before selecting an answer.

Okay, I think I've got this. The changes in the change set will overwrite the existing permission set, so option D is the right answer. I just need to double-check that to be sure.

Hmm, this seems tricky. I think the key is understanding how the permission set deployment will work. I'll need to review the options carefully and think through the implications of each.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I know the permission set changes are part of the change set, but I'm not sure how that will interact with the existing permission set in production.
