I'm just glad I don't have to remember the specific details of every config file on the system. That's what Google is for, right?

I hope the exam doesn't have any questions about anacrontab. That's like the dark side of cron.

D is a bit of a stretch. The random delay is set to 45 minutes, not 51 minutes.

Option A seems correct. The random delay is set to 45 minutes, so the scripts run by the first job will be delayed between 11 and 45 minutes.
