Suggested Answer: D

The execute permission on a directory means you can use the cd command to change into the directory. It also means you can access the files and subdirectories inside the directory, if you have read permission on them. The execute permission does not affect the visibility or exportability of the directory. Reference: https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/sec-file-permissions.html

Hmm, I think the (x) permission on a directory means you can execute files in that directory, but I'm not totally sure.
