Yo dawg, I heard you like usernames, so this script puts usernames in your usernames so you can see usernames while you see usernames. The answer is C) User's name and username, fo sho.

Haha, this script is like a blast from the past! Trying to read the /etc/passwd file, how retro. The answer is definitely B) Username and password hash.
