Why each option

The NetWare Salvage feature retains deleted files in a hidden DELETED.SAV directory on the same volume, allowing recovery until the volume is purged or space is reclaimed.

AIt was removed from the file system.

The Salvage attribute specifically prevents immediate permanent removal by retaining the file in DELETED.SAV rather than erasing it from the file system.

BThe Salvage attribute prevented her from deleting the file.

The Salvage attribute does not block the delete operation itself; it intercepts the deletion and preserves the file for later recovery instead of preventing the user from deleting.

CIt was copied to the DELETED . SAV directory where it will remain until the volume is purged.Correct

When the Salvage attribute is enabled on a NetWare volume, deleted files are not permanently removed but instead moved to a hidden DELETED.SAV directory on that same volume. They remain there and can be recovered using the SALVAGE utility until the volume is explicitly purged or the server reclaims the space for new data.

DIt was moved to a hidden directory on the SYS volume where it will remain until the volume is purged.

Files deleted from a non-SYS volume with Salvage enabled are retained in DELETED.SAV on that same volume, not relocated to the SYS volume.
