Wait, E seems off... I've seen licensed apps as source too!

I'm not sure about D; it seems counterintuitive that pre-compiled binaries would offer more configuration options. I might need to double-check that one.

I think C could be right because when you compile from source, you can customize options that you can't change later. That seems to make sense.

I feel like I read somewhere that compiling from source can be more secure because you can review the code, which makes me lean towards B.

I remember discussing how compiling from source can take longer, especially if there are a lot of dependencies. So, I think A might be incorrect.

Option E? Really? That's like saying 'applications that require a user to breathe air are only available as pre-compiled packages.' Shouldn't that be a given?

I'm going with option C as well. It just makes sense that building from source gives you more flexibility and customization options. Although, I do wonder if the exam writers are trying to trick us with that 'license' thing in option E.

Haha, option D is just ridiculous. Pre-compiled binaries offering more configuration than source-built apps? That's like saying a car with the hood welded shut has more engine options than one you can actually open up and tinker with.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. I feel like option B might be the right one. Compiling from source can potentially make the application more secure, since you have more visibility and control over the code.

I think option C is the correct answer. Compiling from source gives you more control over the build process and configuration options that can't be changed later. The other options seem a bit off-base.
