Best answer

Correct option is (c) 3

To explain: In UNIX system, a file can have three types of permissions -read, write and execute. Read permission means that the file is readable. Write permission means that the file can be edited while executing permission (for a directory) means that we can “pass through” the directory file for searching subdirectories.
