Explanation
To create a reputation override for a company-critical application based on the highest available priority in the reputation list, the administrator must use the IT Tool method of reputation override. The IT Tool method allows the administrator to specify a path to a known IT tool application, such as C:\Program Files\IT\Tools\application.exe, and assign it the Local Approved reputation. This reputation is the highest priority in the reputation list and overrides any other reputations assigned by VMware Carbon Black or other sources. The IT Tool method is useful for applications that are already known by VMware Carbon Black, but need to be allowed to run without interference from the sensor. The other options are incorrect because they are not the highest priority in the reputation list. Option A is incorrect because the Signing Certificate method assigns the Company Approved reputation, which is lower than the Local Approved reputation. Option B is incorrect because the Hash method assigns the Company Approved or Company Banned reputation, depending on the action selected, which are lower than the Local Approved reputation. Option C is incorrect because the Local Approved method is not a valid method of reputation override. It is a reputation level that can be assigned by the IT Tool method or by the sensor for pre-existing files or files signed by a trusted certificate.
