The correct answer is E. Read, Write, and File Scan. NetWare file system rights granted to a parent directory are inherited by all subdirectories by default, so RTracy's rights at SHARED flow down unchanged to SHARED\ACCTNG\REP.

Why each option

NetWare file system rights granted to a parent directory are inherited by all subdirectories by default, so RTracy's rights at SHARED flow down unchanged to SHARED\ACCTNG\REP.

ANo rights

Rights are not lost when descending into subdirectories unless an IRF explicitly blocks them; without an IRF, inheritance is automatic.

BSupervisor

Supervisor right is not shown in the exhibit as granted to RTracy at SHARED, so it cannot appear as an inherited right at the subdirectory.

CRead and File Scan

Read and File Scan is incomplete because Write is also granted at the SHARED level and would be inherited in the absence of a filtering IRF.

DWrite and File Scan

Write and File Scan omits Read, which is granted at SHARED and would also be inherited unless blocked by an IRF.

ERead, Write, and File ScanCorrect

In the NetWare file system, rights assigned at a directory level are inherited by every subdirectory unless explicitly filtered by an Inherited Rights Filter (IRF). The exhibit shows RTracy holds Read, Write, and File Scan at the SHARED directory, and because no IRF is indicated at SHARED\ACCTNG\REP, all three rights are inherited and remain effective there.

FRead, Write, File Scan, and Access Control

Access Control is not listed as a right granted to RTracy at SHARED, so it cannot appear as an inherited right at the subdirectory level.
