Final answer:
Option C: When a file is moved on the same NTFS partition, it retains its original permissions. Conversely, a copied file gets the permissions of the target directory.
Step-by-step explanation:
When a file is moved from one location to another on the same NTFS partition, it retains its original permissions. Therefore, if the file had restrictive permissions in the C:\Confidential folder, such as Deny read for the Users group, it will keep those permissions after being moved to the C:\PublicReports folder. On the other hand, when a file is copied to a different folder, the new file inherits the permissions of the target folder. So, if the C:\PublicReports folder allows full control to the Users group, the copied file will also allow full control to the Users group.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. Deny read for [file 1] and allow full control for [file 2].
The permissions for the two files in the C:\PublicReports folder for members of the Users group will be:
Deny read for both files.
Allow full control for [file 1] and deny read for [file 2].
When you move a file from C:\Confidential to C:\PublicReports, the file retains the permissions that were assigned to it in the Confidential folder. In this case, it had a deny read permission for members of the Users group. When you copy a file from C:\Confidential to C:\PublicReports, the new file in the PublicReports folder inherits the permissions from the destination folder, which has no specific permissions for the Users group, so they have full control over it.
