Why each option

File permissions, specifically NTFS permissions, provide significantly more granular control over individual files and folders compared to share permissions.

AFile permissions are less granular than share permissions.

File permissions are inherently more granular than share permissions, allowing for more specific control down to individual files.

BFull control can only be set using file permissions.

Full control can be assigned using both file permissions (NTFS) and share permissions.

CFile permissions are more granular than share permissions.Correct

File permissions, such as NTFS permissions on Windows, allow administrators to define highly specific access rights for individual files and subfolders within a directory structure. In contrast, share permissions apply broadly to the entire shared folder and its contents, offering a less detailed level of control over access for network users.

DFull control can only be set using share permissions.

Full control can be assigned using both file permissions (NTFS) and share permissions.
