The correct answer is based on the concept of CSS specificity and cascading styles. Inline CSS styles, defined directly within an HTML element using the "style" attribute, have a very high specificity. This means that they generally take precedence over other styles unless those styles have an equal or higher specificity.

In this context, the assertion that "no other CSS rule can override an inline CSS style" is valid because inline styles are considered more specific than both embedded CSS rules and external CSS files. While embedded CSS and external styles typically follow a cascading order where less specific rules can be overridden, inline styles are not easily overridden by those methods unless either the !important tag is used in the conflicting declaration or the inline style is directly removed from the HTML.

Understanding this dynamic is crucial for managing style conflicts effectively in web development.
