C.

In VMware Horizon 8.x, AppStacks are used to package and manage applications that can be assigned to either users or machines. When both user assigned and machine assigned AppStacks are assigned to the same session, the priority of which AppStacks will be used depends on the configuration of the AppStacks and how they are assigned.

If a user assigned AppStack and a machine assigned AppStack have the same application installed, the user assigned AppStack will be used as it has a higher priority. This is because user assigned AppStacks are attached to the user's session at login, whereas machine assigned AppStacks are attached to the virtual machine.

If a user assigned AppStack has an application installed that conflicts with an application in a machine assigned AppStack, the user assigned AppStack will still take priority and the conflicting application in the machine assigned AppStack will not be available.

Therefore, the answer to the question is A. User assigned AppStacks will be used when both user assigned and machine assigned AppStacks are assigned to the same session.
