A. chmod u+x /home/user/script.sh -- adds execute permissions for the user (owner) B. chmod 600 /home/user/script.sh -- sets read/write for the owner, but not execute C. chmod 007 /home/user/script.sh -- sets read/write/execute for others, but not the owner D. chmod o+r /home/user/script.sh -- gave read to others

Selected Answer: A

By default, new files may not have execute permissions, and to run a script, the user must have permission to execute it. The u stands for the user (file owner), and +x adds execute. permissions.
