Answer: C

Explanation:

Changing the record type of a record does not affect the record access of a user. Record access is determined by the organization-wide default, role hierarchy, sharing rules, manual sharing, teams, and ownership. Record type only affects the page layout and picklist values that are available for the record. Therefore, if a user has access to a record before changing its record type, they will still have

the same access after changing its record type.
