A,C Correct answer
Explanation

In SharePoint 2007, authentication is handled by IIS using Windows authentication (NTLM, Kerberos, Basic) before the request reaches SharePoint. SharePoint then performs authorization using its own security model including permissions, user/group memberships, and ACLs. SharePoint does not perform authentication, and IIS does not perform authorization.
