Forget the inode, I'm just going to ln -s a.txt c.txt and call it a day. Symbolic links are where it's at, am I right?

I'm going with C. It's the only option that actually mentions creating a file, and the inode number is just a red herring. Or maybe it's not... *scratches head*

Wait, wait, wait... did they seriously just ask us to create a file with the same inode number? What kind of sorcery is this?!

I agree with Leandro, because ln a.txt c.txt creates a link with the same inode number

Oh, I got this! You gotta use the inode number, so E is the way to go. Ain't no way I'm messing this up.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the answer is C. ln a.txt c.txt. That's how you create a hard link, right?

Creating a hard link with ln a.txt c.txt will indeed give the new file the same inode number.

Hold up, are we supposed to use the inode number or the file name? This is confusing, someone needs to clarify this.
