Marco's lab partner sends him a file so he can add experimental data to it, but he isnt able to edit the file. Which is the most likely problem?

Question

the file is read only
the file is in DOC format
the file is in the wrong folder
the file is to large

Answer 1

The most likely problem is that the file is read only. If a file is marked as read-only, it cannot be edited without changing its properties. The other options are less likely to prevent editing: DOC format files can typically be edited if the correct software is used, being in the wrong folder usually wouldn't prevent editing but would just make the file inaccessible, and large files generally shouldn't prevent editing but could cause issues with saving changes.
