ITPEC IP April 2023 Question 20
ITPEC IP April 2023 — Question 20 of 100
The correct mapping is current directory C, absolute path B, and root directory A. The root directory is the topmost directory in the hierarchy. An absolute path begins there and lists the route to the target. The current directory is the directory being manipulated now; a path starting from it is a relative path, which is description D.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- (a) incorrectly calls the root description the current directory and the current-directory description the root
- (b) also swaps current and root and treats a relative path as absolute
- (d) correctly identifies current and root but assigns relative-path description D to absolute path
Key rule: Absolute starts at root; relative starts from the current directory.
