I’m uncertain about the exact storage location, but I remember that PAM modules are definitely not static binaries.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe PAM modules are not plain text files, so I might lean towards the shared object files option.

I vaguely recall something about PAM modules being organized in /etc/pam.d/, but I'm not sure how that relates to the options given.

I think PAM modules are stored as shared object files, but I can't remember if it's specifically in the /lib/ directory hierarchy.
