Nah, option A is safer. Root only access is better!

I’m a bit confused about the numbers in the options; I thought the file should be owned by root, but I can't remember the exact permissions.

I remember something about the ownership needing to be root, but I can't recall if it should be rw-r--r-- or something more restrictive.

I think the permissions for /etc/passwd should allow read access for users, so maybe option B? But I'm not entirely sure.

This looks like a straightforward partial derivative question. I'll focus on taking the derivative with respect to x, keeping y as a constant.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. "As Built" seems like the most logical choice here.
