Thank you Sean for the help from what you have said and the more I looked at
it
A is correct. Thanks again hope to meet you at the regular CLUE meeting or
at one of the
cert classes.

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.
