No, NTFS permissions need NTFS. Share permissions were created long ago in order to provide a bit of security to file shares. Share permissions are basically worthless nowadays. A lot of people, myself included, just give everyone the full control share permission and do whatever needs to be done with NTFS permissions (though you still need to know how they interact for the exam).

The answer is correct; you do not have those options when using simple file sharing.
