Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

For managing permissions where a specific folder needs to have different access controls than its parent, turning off inheritance for that specific folder is the correct approach.

Option A: Turn off inheritance on the requested folder only and set the requested permissions to each file manually This is partially correct, but setting permissions manually for each file is inefficient and error-prone.

Option B: Turn off inheritance at the top-level folder and remove all inherited permissions This action would disrupt permissions for all other folders and files, not just the confidential folder.

Option C: Turn off inheritance at the top-level folder and set permissions to each file and subfolder manually This approach is overly broad and inefficient, impacting more than just the specific folder that needs restricted access.

Option D: Turn off inheritance on the requested folder only, set the requested permissions, and then turn on inheritance under the child folders This ensures the specific folder has unique permissions while allowing those permissions to propagate to its children, maintaining security and ease of management.
