A

The correct answer is A. Router(config)#username jdone privilege 1 password 7 08314D5D1A48.

Explanation: To configure a local username with an encrypted password and EXEC mode user privileges, we use the "username" command in global configuration mode. The "privilege" keyword is used to specify the privilege level of the user. The privilege level determines the level of access a user has in the device, with level 1 being the lowest and level 15 being the highest.

The "password" keyword is used to specify the password for the user. There are two types of password encryption methods: type 0 and type 7. Type 0 passwords are stored in clear text, whereas type 7 passwords are encrypted. The number following the "password 7" keyword represents the encrypted password.

Therefore, option A is the correct command to use for this task. It specifies the username "jdone" with privilege level 1 and an encrypted password of "08314D5D1A48". The "password 7" keyword indicates that the password is encrypted using type 7 encryption.

Option B is incorrect because it uses a plain text password instead of an encrypted one.

Option C is incorrect because it specifies a privilege level of 15, which is the highest possible privilege level. This level provides full access to the device and should only be used for administrative accounts.

Option D is incorrect because it also specifies a privilege level of 15 and uses a plain text password.
