Default Class Delta airspace under class Bravo

Hey guys couple quick questions,

I had a student ask me some stuff about class delta and echo airspace underneath a bravo; I'm pretty sure what I said was right but I told him I would make sure and I can't find the topic anywhere.

When you're inside an airports class delta airspace that underlies a bravo do you still operate under the Bravo's cloud clearance due to it being the more "restrictive" airspace? I told him you did. My thoughts were that you possibly couldn't land if all of a sudden you needed the cloud clearances of the Delta.

To clarify, you flew in with clearance into the bravo and then landed in your Class D airport.

It's just kind of a goofy question because you'd be SVFR anyway if cloud clearances were such this became an issue, and you got there somehow...

However, you can't depart from that class D airspace unless you have the Delta's 512 minimums, is what I told him.

How would you guys explain it?

"How can you not know this as a CFI" bashing welcome, I'm new
