A is definitely the answer. 755 means rwx for owner.

I don't know, D looks kinda tempting but it's not right.

I thought it was B at first, but A makes more sense.

It's definitely A, that's the correct format for 755.

I feel like I might be confusing the octal values, but I think the owner should have execute permissions too, so it can't be option B.

I practiced a similar question before, and I think 755 translates to "rwxr-xr-x", which would be option A, but I could be mixing it up.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the "1s" command output needing to show a dash for regular files, so it could be one of the options starting with "--".

I think the permissions for octal mode 755 should show that the owner has full access, so it might start with "rwx".
