Explanation
The correct approach is to break (disable) inheritance on just the specific confidential folder, configure the explicit permissions needed for only the immediate team, and then re-enable inheritance so that those new permissions flow down to all subfolders and files within it. This is a targeted change that doesn't disrupt the rest of the department's inherited permissions. Option A incorrectly sets permissions per-file rather than letting inheritance handle subfolders. Options B and C affect the top-level folder, which would disrupt permissions for the entire department. Option D is the surgical, least-impact solution.
