Cloud Kicks has created a custom object called Interests which is joined to Accounts by...

The correct answer is C.

A junction object is commonly created with two master-detail relationships. Salesforce documentation states that sharing access to a junction object record is determined by the user’s access to both associated master records and the sharing setting on the relationship fields.

Here, Account Interest is the junction object between Account and Interest. If users do not have read access to the Interest object, they cannot view the Interest records. Because access to the junction object depends on access to both master records, they also cannot view the associated Account Interest records.

Why not others:

A is wrong because lack of read access to Interest does not give read-only access automatically.

B is wrong because the user can still view the Account if they have Account access.

D is wrong because junction object access is not simply “show junction but hide Interest details.”
