  1. Move some of the files from her home folder to the IN_PROGRESS shared folder.

  2. Compress the files in her home folder to save disk space.

  3. Remove files from her home folder until the total uncompressed file size is less than 100 MB.

  4. Change the security settings of some of the files in her home folder to grant Full Control permissions to a user who has not reached the quota level.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Windows 2000 disk quotas count the uncompressed file size, regardless of compression. Removing files is the only way to actually reduce the quota usage. Option A (moving) doesn't reduce total size. Option B (compressing) saves disk space but not quota usage. Option D (changing security) doesn't affect quota calculations.

AI explanation

Correct answer: Remove files from her home folder until the total uncompressed file size is less than 100 MB. This is a Windows 2000 disk-quota scenario: quotas on NTFS are tracked by uncompressed logical file size, so compressing files (option 2) or moving them to a shared folder outside the user's quota-tracked home folder (option 1) doesn't reduce the user's quota usage in the way required, and changing NTFS permissions (option 4) has no effect on quota accounting. The only fix that actually reduces the user's counted usage below the quota limit is deleting/removing enough data.
