SMB/CIFS is a protocol for?

Allowing Microsoft systems to share resources
Allowing Apple systems to share resources
Secure file transfer
Accessing a directory service

The correct answer is: Allowing Microsoft systems to share resources

SMB/CIFS is a protocol for allowing Microsoft systems to share resources. This means that it is primarily used for systems running the Microsoft operating system such as Windows. This protocol is not designed for sharing resources on Apple systems, so option B is incorrect. While SMB/CIFS does allow for secure file transfer, that is not its primary purpose, so option C is also incorrect. Additionally, while SMB/CIFS can be used to access a directory service, it is not its main function, making option D incorrect. Therefore, option A is the best answer for this question.
