Why each option
When a newly created subfolder in a department share is only accessible by its creator, enabling inheritance is the most likely solution to allow all users to access it. This ensures that the subfolder automatically adopts the necessary permissions from the parent folder, granting wider access.
Assigning share permissions is done at the share level, but the problem describes an issue with newly created subfolders within the share, indicating a file system (NTFS) permission issue often related to inheritance.
Enabling inheritance ensures that newly created subfolders and files automatically receive the same permissions as their parent folder, resolving the issue where only the creator has access because the default permissions are not propagating.
Requiring multifactor authentication is a security measure for user login, unrelated to file and folder access permissions within a share.
Removing the archive attribute primarily affects backup processes and does not control user access permissions to files or folders.
