The most likely cause is that the consultant used Copy Link in a way that shared the dashboard's default state rather than preserving the interactive filter state that was applied during analysis. A standard dashboard link can reopen the asset without carrying the sender's temporary filter and selection context, which explains why the colleague sees an unfiltered dashboard.

Option A is incorrect because dashboard views can be shared; the problem is the type of link or view state being shared, not a blanket prohibition on sharing filtered analysis. Option C is also incorrect because there is no separate permission category whose purpose is specifically to display filters contained in a shared dashboard view. The recipient still needs ordinary access to the dashboard and its underlying governed data, but permissions do not explain why the filters disappeared.

For exam purposes, remember the distinction between sharing the dashboard asset itself and sharing the user's current analytical state. When identical filter context matters, the consultant must use the mechanism that preserves that current view rather than a generic/default asset link.
