Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The message "file locked for editing" suggests that concurrent update controls have been triggered, which means that someone else is currently editing the file or the file was not properly closed previously. It is a common feature in many collaborative tools to prevent multiple users from editing the same file simultaneously and avoid conflicts. Option A is unlikely as there is no evidence of a virus. Option B is possible but unlikely given the language used in the message. Option D is incorrect since the message implies that Sonja is not currently editing the file.
