This command adds the path /opt/operations1/bin to the $PATH environment variable in the /etc/profile file. This will allow users to access the application without having to use the full path /opt/operations1/bin/*.

A looks like the best answer here. It would be better to put the directory before $PATH, so that way the directory is searched before the rest of the pathing options in $PATH.
