Wait, is 'uid' the right answer? I'm not 100% sure, but it's worth a try. Gotta love these tricky certification questions!

Forget the exam, let's talk about how many USB flash drives I've accidentally formatted over the years. Oops!

Aha, 'user' is the way to go! It's the only one that makes sense in the context of the fstab entry.

Hmm, 'user' seems like the obvious choice, but what about 'owner'? It's worth a shot!

I think the missing keyword is 'user'. That should give fred the necessary permissions to write to the USB flash device.

I agree with Shanice, uid is needed for user fred to have write access to the USB flash device.

I think it should be uid because it specifies the user ID that owns the mounted filesystem.
