You work for a small city IT department, and you get a call from a customer who says he cannot write to documents in the “City” shared folder on an NTFS volume. He had read and write permissions to this folder last week. He’s a member of the Managers group and was just recently added as a member of the Auditors group. These groups were specifically created in your organization to manage access to different NTFS volumes on the network. Of the following, what is the problem?

A. The Managers group has Allow permissions for Read and Write for the folder, but the Auditors group does not have any Allow permissions for the folder.

B. The Auditors group has Allow permissions for Read and Write for the folder, but the Managers group does not have any Allow permissions for the folder.

C. The Managers group has Allow permissions for Read and Write for the folder, but the Auditors group has Deny permissions for Read and Write for the folder.

D. The Managers group has Deny permissions for Read and Write for the folder, but the Auditors group has no Allow or Deny permissions for the folder.
