Explanation

Sharing settings within a document's own interface is the direct, purpose-built mechanism for controlling who can view or edit that specific file - making A the correct and most targeted action. B is wrong because project-level permissions control access broadly across all project resources, not individual document permissions, and could inadvertently affect unrelated files. C is a distractor because version locking freezes document history to prevent edits, but has nothing to do with who has access. D changing a document to "private" removes sharing entirely rather than editing existing permissions - it's a blunt instrument, not a permission editor.

Memory tip: Think "share to control who shares" - if you're managing sharing, go to Sharing settings directly on the document itself.
