But doesn't it also search recursively starting at /?

The whereis command is like a ninja, it finds files in the blink of an eye! D must be the answer, it leaves no stone unturned.

Recursively starting at / ? That's way too much work for a simple whereis command. I'll go with B, it's the most efficient option.

Wait, isn't the root user's $PATH different from the regular user's $PATH? I'm going with C, just to be safe.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I think it checks the $PATH variable, which includes the user's directories. B looks like the right answer to me.
