A. Windows offers the GPResult command-line tool, which, when run with no parameters, displays the GPOs that affect the currently logged-on user for the local machine.

By default, GPResult doesn’t display the actual policies, but these can be displayed by adding the /V switch (/Z gives a super-verbose mode that displays all the settings that attempted to be applied, even those that were overwritten by a higher-precedence GPO). Below is a sample non-verbose output:
