You know, if I mess this up, I'll be the laughingstock of the IT department. I better make sure I get this right.

This question is making my brain hurt. Can we take a break and grab some coffee? I need to clear my head before tackling this one.

Option D looks interesting, but I'm pretty sure that's not how you set the setuid bit. The +s syntax is not standard chmod usage.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Doesn't the 1 in option A also enable the setuid bit? I'm a bit confused.

I think option B is the correct answer. The 4 in the permission set enables the setuid bit.

This is a tricky question. The setuid bit is used to grant elevated privileges to a program, so it's an important security concept to understand.
