Which of the following explains the file permissions for -rwx-rwx-x?

Answer options

• A. The owner has read, write, and execution permissions; the group has read, write and execution permissions; everybody else has read permission.
• B. The owner has read and execution permissions; the group has read, write, and execution permissions; everybody else has write permission.
• C. The owner has read, write, and execution permissions; the group has read, write, and execution permissions; everybody else has execution permission.
• D. The group has read, write, and execution permissions; the owner has read, write, and execution permissions; everybody else has execution permission.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it accurately describes the permissions with the owner and group having read, write, and execute permissions, while others have only execute permission. Option A incorrectly states that others have read permission, option B misrepresents the permissions for the owner, and option D confuses the roles of owner and group.
