Explanation

Administrative shares are special hidden network shares that Windows creates automatically. They are identified by a dollar sign ($) appended to the share name (e.g., C$, D$, ADMIN$, IPC$). These shares allow administrators to remotely access the root of each drive and system directories for management purposes. They are hidden from normal network browsing. A local share (A) is a manually created share without the $ suffix. Permission propagation (B) and inheritance (C) are concepts related to how permissions flow through a folder hierarchy, not share types.
