Option E? Really? That's like saying 'applications that require a user to breathe air are only available as pre-compiled packages.' Shouldn't that be a given?

Agreed, it's a strange comparison to make.

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense to say that about licenses.

I think option E is just stating the obvious.

I'm going with option C as well. It just makes sense that building from source gives you more flexibility and customization options. Although, I do wonder if the exam writers are trying to trick us with that 'license' thing in option E.

I think the exam writers might be trying to trick us with option E, it does seem a bit misleading.

Haha, option D is just ridiculous. Pre-compiled binaries offering more configuration than source-built apps? That's like saying a car with the hood welded shut has more engine options than one you can actually open up and tinker with.

But compiling from source allows for more customization, so I still think it's C.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. I feel like option B might be the right one. Compiling from source can potentially make the application more secure, since you have more visibility and control over the code.

But pre-compiled binaries can also be secure if they come from a trusted source.

I think option C is the correct answer. Compiling from source gives you more control over the build process and configuration options that can't be changed later. The other options seem a bit off-base.
