Explanation
Linux file permissions are divided into three categories: user (owner), group, and others. Each category can have read, write, and execute permissions.
Common mistakes.
- B. Administrator is not a Linux file permission category - Linux uses 'user' (owner) not 'administrator' as the first permission set.
- C. 'Standard user' is not a recognized Linux file permission category - the correct term for the owner's permission set is 'user'.
- D. Neither 'administrator' nor 'standard user' are valid Linux file permission categories - these terms belong to Windows-style role concepts, not Unix permission sets.
Concept tested. Linux file permission categories user group others
