Question:

There is one volume on a Windows workstation formatted with NTFS. The Developers group has Modify access to the C:\dev directory and Read access to the C:\operations folder. You copy the folder to the C:\operations folder. What level of permissions will the Developers group have to the new C:\operations\dev directory?

A Read.

explanation

On NTFS volumes, whenever a file or folder is copied, the new file or folder will take on the NTFS permissions of its new parent folder. The original permissions will be discarded. The old permissions are retained at the new location when files and folders are transferred rather than copied.
