Which command is used to make all files and sub-directories in the directory (progs) executable by all users ?

Correct answer: A. chmod -R a+x progs

  • A. chmod -R a+x progs
  • B. chmod -R 222 progs
  • C. chmod -1 a+x progs
  • D. chmod -x a+x progs

Explanation

The `-R` option applies the change recursively, while `a+x` adds execute permission for the owner, group, and others. The other numeric mode shown does not specifically assign executable permission.
