You know, with great power comes great responsibility. Looks like Patrick forgot the 'with great power' part. But hey, at least he's not chmod'ing his system files, right?

Ah, the age-old question of file permissions. I once tried to chmod my entire hard drive to 777 - let's just say my computer went a little 'oops all directories'.

Woah, 755 to 744? This guy's a real Linux wizard, huh? A seems like the way to go. Though I'm still trying to figure out how to change my desktop background.

Hold up, why would he change it to rwx------? That's like locking everyone out except the owner. D is definitely not the right answer here.

Wait, did he really change it to rw-rw-rw-? That's just gonna open up the floodgates, man. Gonna have to go with C on this one.

I'm not sure, but I think option A is correct because the command he used would only change the last digit of the permission value.

I agree with Veronika, option A makes sense based on the changes Patrick wanted to make.

I think the answer is A because he changed the file permission from rwxr-xr-x to rwx-r--r--.

I'm not sure, but I think option A is correct because the command he used would only change the group permission.

Okay, let's think this through. 755 to 744? That's gotta be option A. Looks like the owner can still read, write, and execute, but the group and others can only read. Makes sense!
