Hard links? More like 'hardly' links, am I right? *chuckles* Anyway, I think B is the way to go here.

I'm not sure about this one. Maybe the system will prompt me to remove 'bar' too? Gonna go with E just to be safe.

Ooh, tricky one. I'm gonna go with D. Both 'foo' and 'bar' would remain accessible even after deleting 'foo'. Gotta love those hard links!

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I'm going with option C. 'bar' would still exist but be unusable without the original file.

I think the correct answer is B. After deleting the original file 'foo', the hard link 'bar' should remain accessible.

I agree with Hubert. When you delete foo, bar will still be accessible because it's a hard link.
