Answer: D

Explanation:

UserA is a member of both the Everyone group and the Marketing group and UserA must access C:Marketing from across the network.

When accessing a file locally, you combine the NTFS permissions granted to your account either directly or by way of group membership. The ‘least’ restrictive permission is then the permission that applies.

In this question, the NTFS permission is the least restrictive of Read/Execute and Modify… so Modify is the effective permission.

When accessing a folder or file across the network, you combine the effective NTFS permissions (Modify in this case) with the effective Share permissions granted to your account either directly or by way of group membership (Full Control in this case). The ‘most’ restrictive permission is then the permission that applies. Modify is more restrictive than Full Control so Modify is the effective permission.
