Question:

A user on your network is trying to open a folder named Projects on a local NTFS volume. Their user account is in the Developers group, which has Read & Execute permissions on the folder. The user's user account has Full Control permissions on the folder. What are the user's effective permissions on the folder?

A Full Control.
explanation

The user in this case has Full Control. When NTFS permissions conflict, they are typically combined and the most liberal one is granted. This is true for permissions that conflict between groups or between a user's account and group memberships. Deny is an exception, which overrides all other permissions.
