Answer:

The USB stick is formatted with NTFS ( D )

Step-by-step explanation:

NTFS ( new technology file system ) is file system developed by Microsoft starting with windows NT 3.1. NTFS is a more sophisticated and improved file system over the previous system like the file allocation table ( FAT ) and high performance file system ( HPFS )

It also has additional extensions that ensures more elaborate security system based on access control lists and file system journaling.

the more elaborate security system might be the reason why the user can't get the permissions associated withe the file.
