I think it's A. Local files have priority.

Nope, it's definitely not about apps/local. System/local wins!

I remember something about user-specific configurations having higher precedence, so maybe option D is the answer?

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like the default directory is lower in precedence than local directories.

I practiced a similar question where the local directory had the highest priority, so I’m leaning towards option A or D.

I think the highest precedence is usually the local directory, but I can't remember which one that is.
