The correct answer is C. volume modify -snapdir-access false. Setting snapdir-access to false prevents users accessing the CIFS/NFS share from viewing or deleting Snapshot copies via the .snapshot directory. This secures the Snapshot restore mechanism from being exposed or tampered with in case of another attack through file shares.
