I think the correct answer is D) Recursively starting at/ because it searches the entire file system.

Wait, is the whereis command like a superhero that can find files anywhere, even in the Bermuda Triangle? If so, then D is the answer!

Haha, I bet the answer is A. The whereis command is basically just a fancy way of looking in the system binary directories, isn't it?

I'm going with C. Why would it look in my personal $PATH when it's a system command? It must use Root's $PATH.
