Turning on inheritance under the child folders is counter-intuitive to restricting access and is the part of answer D that makes it incorrect.

That is exactly what makes it more likely the best choice, as you are not manually editing permissions for subfolders.

D makes perfect sense, A and D are the same thing only D you are going to manually go and set permissions on a file by file basis, instead of doing the entire subfolder?

Selected Answer: A

By turning off inheritance on the specific folder, the permissions from the parent folder will no longer apply to this folder. The technician can then assign custom permissions for that folder, ensuring only the immediate team has access. Manually setting the requested permissions at the folder level ensures that no inherited permissions override the access controls for this sensitive material. Turning inheritance back on for child folders could inadvertently reapply permissions that conflict with the restricted access, undermining the security intended for the confidential material.
