E) vipw -u bob bobsfile? More like 'vipw -u dumb bob' amirite? B is the winner!

I guess option A) chgrp bob bobsfile would work if bob was a group, but then he'd have to share the file with the 'whee1' group. Ain't nobody got time for that!

I'm not even going to bother with D) chperm 664 bobsfile - that's not a real command. B is the only logical choice.

Hmm, E) vipw -u bob bobsfile sounds like it's trying to edit the system's password file, which is not what we want here. B is the way to go.

I tried option C) chmod +x bobsfile, but that just added execute permission, not write permission. Definitely going with B!

Option C) chmod +x bobsfile only adds execute permission, not write permission.

B) chown bob:bob bobsfile is the correct answer. We need to change the owner of the file to the user bob to grant write permission.

I agree with Teri, using chown to change the owner of the file to Dulce will give him write permission.

I think the superuser should use option B) chown bob:bob bobsfile to grant write permission to bob.
