Answer: A

Explanation:

Here are some rules for resolving permissions conflicts:

"Deny" permissions generally take precedence over "allow" permissions.

Permissions applied directly to an object (explicit permissions) take precedence over permissions inherited from a parent (for example from a group).

Permissions inherited from near relatives take precedence over permissions inherited from distant predecessors.So permissions inherited from the object’s parent folder take precedence over permissions inherited from the object’s "grandparent" folder, and so on.

Permissions from different user groups that are at the same level (in terms of being directly-set or inherited, and in terms of being "deny" or "allow") are cumulative.So if a user is a member of two groups, one of which has an "allow" permission of "Read" and the other has an "allow" of "Write", the user will have both read and write permission–depending on the other rules above, of course.
