Explanation
Setting default read permissions organization-wide means users can view content but cannot alter it, which directly enhances security by minimizing unintended modifications (D). When the majority of users only need to consume information, granting read-only access by default follows the principle of least privilege - a foundational security concept.
Why the distractors fail:
- A is backwards: default read permissions are specifically suited for environments where most users do not need write access.
- B contradicts the premise - read permissions explicitly prevent direct modification, so collaboration through editing is not possible.
- C is unrelated; read permissions don't speed up content creation or updates - they restrict who can make changes at all.
Memory tip: Think "READ = RESTRICT." Default read permissions restrict write access by default, which restricts risk. The word "read" sounds passive - and passive users can't accidentally break things.
