Final answer:

By default, a file or folder will receive its NTFS permissions from the parent folder through inheritance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is NTFS permissions and how they are inherited from the parent folder to a file or folder.



NTFS stands for New Technology File System and it is the default file system used by Windows operating systems. When you create a new file or folder within a parent folder, it automatically inherits the permissions assigned to the parent folder. This process is called inheritance.



For example, if the parent folder has read-only access, the new file or folder will also have read-only access unless the permissions are explicitly changed.
