Correct answer & explanation

Define group variables in group_vars directory

Ansible inventory grouping and variable inheritance follows a hierarchy: first, group variables are defined in group_vars files; then, host variables are defined in host_vars files; next, the inventory parser resolves group parent-child relationships; after that, variables are merged with child groups overriding parent groups; finally, host-specific variables take highest precedence.
