B Correct answer
Explanation

Local object repository is simplest for basic record-and-run scenarios because it stores objects within the test itself, eliminating the need to manage external repository files. Shared repositories require more setup and maintenance coordination across multiple tests. The 'Both' option is misleading because using both types simultaneously would actually add complexity rather than simplify.

AI explanation

In tools like HP QuickTest Professional/UFT, a Local Object Repository is tied to a single test script and stores objects only for that test — it's created automatically as you record, requiring no extra setup, which makes it the simplest choice for quick, standalone record-and-run tests. A Shared Object Repository, by contrast, is a separate file meant to be reused across multiple tests/scripts, requiring deliberate setup and association — more powerful for reuse but more overhead for a one-off simple test. 'Both' and 'None of the above' don't answer which is easiest, so Local is correct.
