An administrator was tasked to enforce disk quotas on the Windows file server.
The administrator allocated 1GB of space to each user.
A month later, the users were still able to save beyond 1GB.

The correct answer to the question is B. Prohibit read/write if limit is reached.
Disk quotas are used to limit the amount of disk space that users can consume on a file server. When disk quotas are implemented, each user is allocated a certain amount of disk space that they are allowed to use. If a user exceeds their quota, they may not be able to save additional files, or may only be able to save files in a read-only mode.
In this scenario, the administrator allocated 1GB of space to each user, but after a month, the users were still able to save beyond 1GB. This means that the disk quotas were not properly enforced, and some users were able to consume more disk space than they were allocated.
The check box that should have been selected to enforce the disk quotas is "Prohibit read/write if limit is reached." This check box ensures that users cannot save any additional files once they have reached their disk quota. If a user tries to save a file and they have already reached their quota, they will receive an error message indicating that they cannot save the file.
Enabling compression (option A) may reduce the amount of disk space used by files, but it does not limit the amount of space that users can consume. Denying access if limit is reached (option C) would prevent users from accessing their files once they have exceeded their quota, which may not be desirable. Logging an event if disk space is reached (option D) is a good practice, but it does not enforce the disk quotas themselves.
