- A. defaultHttpRetryPolicy: {}
- B. inboundTrafficPolicy: {retries: 0}
- C. defaultRetryPolicy: {attempts: 0}
- D. defaultInboundHttpRetryPolicy: {}

**Answer:** defaultInboundHttpRetryPolicy: {}

**Explanation:** Sidecars retry inbound requests twice on reset-before-request, and before 1.32 this was hardcoded. The new defaultInboundHttpRetryPolicy field tunes attempts, retryOn and backoff, and an empty object disables inbound retries mesh-wide. defaultHttpRetryPolicy only governs outbound traffic.
