A technician creates a new subfolder inside an existing NTFS folder that already has explicit permissions assigned. Which of the following best describes what happens to the subfolder's permissions immediately after it is created, assuming the default Windows settings have not been changed?
It is automatically granted Full Control to the Everyone group, regardless of the parent's permissions.
It inherits only Read permission, regardless of what permissions exist on the parent folder.
It inherits all of the parent folder's permissions automatically, though those permissions can later be overridden or removed.
It receives no permissions at all until an administrator explicitly assigns them.
By default, NTFS uses permission inheritance. Any child object (file or subfolder) automatically receives the same access control entries as its parent folder when it is created. Administrators can later break this inheritance or add explicit permissions to tailor access, but the initial permission set is inherited to ensure consistent protection across the directory tree.
