[CLUE-Cert] SAIR Linux and GNU Cert.

[Sean LeBlanc]

I have taken the Installation and Config test, but I'm sure folks on here
that haven't would still be able to help.

I have an older edition of this book, so I don't think I have this question
in my book.

Answer A sounds right, though, because it is false, as you see in your
fstab. They are asking which is false. A is false.
Although that answer only seems sketchy, since D is not always true.
Here's a section from the mount(8) man page:

(iii)  Normally,  only the superuser can mount file systems.  How­
       ever, when fstab contains the user option on a line, then anybody
       can mount the corresponding system.
