What is the purpose of setting ONPARENT = no in an Interface configuration file located in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts?

The correct answer is C. To prevent an alias network interface from being brought up during system startup. The ONBOOT directive tells the network initialization scripts not to start a given interface. If you need to stop a virtual interface from starting when the network interfaces are initialized, you need to set ONPARENT instead of ONBOOT to no. Keep IP Aliases from Starting at Boot
