Explanation

NFS share properties (D) is where host access permissions are configured - when you add a host to an NFS share, the allowed client list, access type (read/write), and authentication settings are all defined at the share level, making it the first place to verify if a host can't mount. Host properties (A) describe the host itself, not what storage it's allowed to access. File system properties (B) govern the underlying filesystem (capacity, layout, etc.), not who can reach it over the network. NAS server properties (C) control the server-level configuration (network interfaces, protocols enabled), but individual host access is not managed there.

Memory tip: Think of it as "who gets in the door" - the share is the door, so the share's properties hold the guest list. If a host is missing from that list, it can't mount, regardless of what the server or filesystem looks like.
