I remember that crontab uses numbers for days of the week, but I'm not sure if 6 and 0 are the right ones for Saturday and Sunday.

I'm pretty confident that option C is the right answer here. The crontab syntax for running a task on Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 a.m. is "0 9 * * 6,0 root /root/script.sh".
