A Correct answer
Explanation

When accessing a shared folder, Windows applies the most restrictive permission between share and NTFS permissions. Here, the share grants Read, while NTFS grants Full Control to Everyone. The more restrictive Read permission applies. John cannot get Full Control remotely - the share permission is the bottleneck.
