Selected Answer: A
The correct answer is A. The checkdiskspace.timerunit should be enabled via systemctl. Here's why: In order for a systemd timer unit to be active and start the associated service, it needs to be enabled first. Enabling the timer makes sure it will be started at boot or when the systemd daemon reloads its configuration. The other options are less likely to be the issue: B. The timers.targetshould be reloaded to get the new configuration: While reloading might be necessary after making changes, it won’t start a timer that hasn’t been enabled. C. The checkdiskspace.timershould be configured to allow manual starts: This is not necessary for timers; timers run based on their scheduling, not manual starts. D. The checkdiskspace.timershould be started using the sudo command: Starting a timer usually requires administrative privileges, but the primary issue would be that the timer needs to be enabled.

C is correct. Even root cannot start the service if the config file prevents it.

C contradicts with the requirement, "The Linux Administrator does not want users to able to start the job" A. The checkdiskspace.timer unit should be enabled via systemctl. sudo systemctl enable checkdiskspace.timer sudo systemctl start checkdiskspace.timer enabling the timer will ensure it runs according to the schedule without requiring manual intervention.
