C. Clone default objects and edit the clone

A recommended best practice when customizing objects in SmartConsole is to clone an existing default object and then edit the clone, rather than modifying the original — this preserves the default object's integrity (in case it's needed elsewhere or referenced by other configurations) while still letting you tailor a copy to your specific needs.

Why the others are wrong:

A. Use inconsistent naming conventions — This is the opposite of best practice — consistent naming conventions make objects easier to identify, search, and manage across the policy.
B. Edit default objects directly — Modifying default objects directly is risky — it can break assumptions other rules/configurations make about that object's original settings, which is exactly why cloning first is recommended instead.
D. Avoid using groups — Groups are a recommended best practice for organizing related objects and simplifying rule management — avoiding them entirely would be counterproductive, not a best practice.
