Explanation
Dashboard folders in Salesforce use a folder-sharing model. If a user has not been granted at least Viewer access to the specific folder (via their role, public group, or directly), Salesforce displays 'We couldn't find the record you're trying to access' rather than an explicit permission error. This is a security-by-obscurity behavior-Salesforce doesn't confirm the record exists to unauthorized users. Option C (folder set to Private) is related, but 'Private' means only the owner can access it; the correct answer more precisely describes the resolution: granting View access. Options A and B describe profile or permission set issues, which are possible but less specific than the folder-level access control, which is the direct cause.
