The four yellow cells are the candidate set for the candidate 5 in row 4, and therefore the number 5 has to be placed in one of these cells and can be removed from the green cell, that sees all cells of the candidate set. Observe that the candidate set is not locked in any other group, so this result is not found with the rule locked candidates.
