Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The answer is Unassigned.
Since the assignee is Automatic, we follow this rule:
Component Lead > Project Lead > Project Default.
Razi selected Java. Java default assignee is Project Default, which is Unassigned.
The GIF below demonstrates the actual test. (Click here if the image is not visible)
If you set the assignee as Automatic, Jira will assign the assignee according to the rules below. It is important to remember this for the exam. The priority is from top to bottom.
If more than one component lead exists, Jira will take the first component ID, which is which component was created first.
Even though the Atlassian documentation mentioned it will be stored alphabetically, I've confirmed it is sorted by which component was created first. According to the gif below, Java and Dom are not the first alphabetically.
