Why each option

To address rapidly decreasing server storage caused by a few users storing excessive data, the technician should implement disk quotas to limit individual user storage space.

ADisk quotasCorrect

Disk quotas allow administrators to set limits on the amount of disk space users can consume on a volume. Implementing quotas ensures that all users have an equitable amount of available storage space by restricting how much data any single user can store, thereby resolving the issue of excessive data consumption by a few users.

BGroup memberships

Group memberships control user permissions and access rights, not the amount of storage space they can utilize.

CLogon scripts

Logon scripts are automated scripts that execute during user login, typically for environment configuration or drive mapping, and do not enforce storage limits.

DShadow volumes

Shadow volumes create point-in-time copies of files for backup and recovery, which is unrelated to controlling user-specific storage allocations.
