Which startup script will mount all filesystems in /etc/filesystems for which the mount parameter is set to 'true'?

Why each option

In AIX, /etc/rc is the primary initialization script executed at boot that reads /etc/filesystems and mounts all entries where the mount attribute is set to true.

A/etc/rcCorrect

/etc/rc is the AIX system initialization script that processes /etc/filesystems at boot time, mounting every filesystem entry whose mount stanza contains 'mount = true', making it the definitive answer for this boot-time filesystem mounting behavior.

B/etc/red

/etc/red is not a valid or recognized AIX system file or startup script.

C/sbin/rc.start

/sbin/rc.start is not a standard AIX startup script and does not handle filesystem mounting from /etc/filesystems.

D/etc/rc.bootc

/etc/rc.bootc is not a standard AIX initialization script responsible for mounting filesystems defined in /etc/filesystems.
