CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 135

A user moves a file from one NTFS disk to another NTFS disk. Which of the following describes the changes to the file permissions?

Answer options

• A. The file has both the source and destination permissions
• B. The file keeps the source permissions
• C. The file permissions have to be set manually
• D. The file receives the destination permissions

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when a file is moved between NTFS volumes, it adopts the permissions of the destination volume. Option A is incorrect because the file does not retain permissions from both locations. Option B is wrong as the file does not keep the source permissions during the move. Option C is also incorrect since the permissions are automatically assigned from the destination, not set manually.
