Explanation

B is correct because httpd-ssl.conf is a configuration file, not a configuration option. The question explicitly asks for the option (directive) name that enables OCSP stapling - the correct answer is SSLUseStapling (used as SSLUseStapling On).

Why A is wrong: Marking the solution as correct would confuse a file path with a directive. Apache configuration files like httpd-ssl.conf are containers for options, not options themselves.

Why the distractor is misleading: httpd-ssl.conf does house SSL-related directives, including SSLUseStapling, which may cause test-takers to conflate the file with the option it contains.

Memory tip: Think "SSL Use Stapling" - the directive literally describes what it does. OCSP Stapling is an SSL/TLS feature, so the directive starts with SSL, and you're telling Apache to use stapling: SSLUseStapling.
