Hi @Shubham Rai ,

B. Provide a way of tracking the user who developed an application is not a purpose of application scoping.

The primary purpose of application scoping in ServiceNow is to provide a way to organize and separate application artifacts, such as tables, scripts, and UI elements, to prevent cross-application name collisions and to enforce access controls. This is accomplished by providing a unique namespace, which includes a prefix and scope name, for each application.

By using application scoping, different applications can have objects with the same names, without conflicts. This also helps to ensure that changes to one application do not affect other applications in the same instance.

In addition, application scoping provides a way to manage access to objects within an application, as it allows administrators to control which roles have access to specific applications and their associated objects.

The purpose of application scoping is not to track the user who developed an application. However, application scoping does provide a way to manage access to applications based on roles and groups, which can be used to control who has access to create, modify, and delete application artifacts.
