ITPEC IP October 2018 — Question 42 of 100

The required permissions grant every requested right to exactly the intended class. They are owner RWX, group R-X, and others --X. Everyone receives execute permission. Read is present only for the owner and group, while write is present only for the owner.

Answer (d)

Why not others:
- option (a) incorrectly grants write permission to the group

- option (b) incorrectly grants read permission to other users

- option (c) grants both read and write to other users and omits their execute permission

Key rule: Evaluate read, write, and execute independently for owner, group, and others; a missing permission in a higher-priority class is not inherited from a lower class.
