Explanation

hide unreadable is the correct Samba parameter because it filters the share's visible contents so that only files the connecting user has read permission on are displayed - files they cannot read are hidden entirely, preventing users from even knowing those files exist.

This is a fill-in-the-blank question with only one choice, so there are no distractors to evaluate - the question tests recall of the exact parameter name, not elimination between alternatives.

Memory tip: Think of it literally - "hide" what is "unreadable." The parameter name is self-describing: it hides files that are unreadable to the current user. In smb.conf, you set hide unreadable = yes in a share definition to enable this behavior.
