Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is Option 3: Links.
In the Linux operating system, links are used to create references to a file or directory in different locations within the file system hierarchy. This allows the same file to be accessed from multiple paths without duplicating the actual data on the disk. There are two primary types of links:
Hard Links: These point directly to the inode of the file.
Symbolic (Soft) Links: These act like shortcuts that point to the filename/path of the original file.
