When can the value “Protected” be leveraged in a Protection Policy for a Script Include?

The Protection Policy field on a Script Include controls whether installed application code can be viewed or edited after distribution. “Protected” is intended to protect intellectual property by preventing customers who install or download the application from seeing the Script field content in plain text. It is not activated merely because an admin enables a field, because a user has protected_edit, or because a general system property is set. In CAD terms, this feature matters when distributing custom application code, especially Store-delivered applications, where the developer wants to hide implementation details from consuming instances. Therefore, option A is the correct exam-aligned answer.
