The correct answer is B. su - user1 /usr/local/bin/script.sh. The su - user1 /usr/local/bin/script.sh command switches to the user1 account with a login shell (the -), and passes the script path so that it runs under user1’s identity. The other options either misuse the -c flag or invoke sudo incorrectly.
