Which two steps are required to stop inheriting permissions from the parent for the Personnel folder?

• A. Disable inheritance
• B. Remove all inherited permissions from this object
• C. Disable inheritance and Remove all inherited permissions from this object
• D. Convert inherited permissions to explicit permissions on this object

Answer: (C)

The concept here is breaking NTFS permission inheritance for a specific object. When a folder inherits permissions from its parent, you can stop that inheritance by turning off inheritance on the folder. But turning off inheritance alone doesn’t remove the permissions that were already inherited. To completely stop relying on the parent and keep a clean, explicit set of permissions, you must also remove all inherited permissions from the folder’s ACL. Doing both actions ensures the folder won’t receive any future inherited changes and only the explicit permissions you assign will apply. Converting inherited permissions to explicit permissions changes how those entries are stored but does not stop future inheritance from the parent, so it doesn’t fully detach the folder from the parent’s permissions.
