A. Inner classes do not inherit the sharing settings from the container class:

• This is true. Inner classes do not inherit the sharing settings of their outer classes. If you want an inner class to enforce sharing rules, you must explicitly declare it with the with sharing keyword.

D. Both inner and outer classes can be declared as with sharing:

• This is also true. Both inner and outer classes can independently be declared with the with sharing keyword. This means that you can specify sharing settings at both the outer and inner class levels if necessary.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

B. Either inner or outer classes can be declared as with sharing, but not both:

• This is incorrect. You can declare both inner and outer classes with the with sharing keyword if you need both to enforce sharing rules.

C. Inner classes inherit the sharing settings from the container class:

• This is incorrect. As mentioned earlier, inner classes do not inherit the sharing settings from their outer classes. They must be explicitly declared with the with sharing keyword if you want them to enforce sharing rules....
