B Correct answer
Explanation

The default umask value 022 removes write permissions for group and others, resulting in file permissions 755 (rwxr-xr-x) and 644 (rw-r--r--) for new files. This means new files are created with read/write for owner and read-only for group/others, which is the standard Unix security default.
