Explanation
Least privilege means users receive only the minimum permissions needed for their role. Creating a folder hierarchy and disabling inheritance breaks the default permission flow, allowing the technician to assign explicit, granular permissions to each folder for specific users - no one gets access they haven't been deliberately granted. Option B grants full admin rights, violating least privilege. Option C enables inheritance, which can propagate broader permissions unintentionally. Option D gives everyone read access regardless of role, which also ignores role-based differences.
