D.

E.
None of the above

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
In Unix, the chmod command is used to change the permissions or protection mode of files or directories. The pattern emp[1-3] matches files starting with the string emp and ending with 1, 2, or 3.
By adding u+x to the chmod command, it grants execute permission to the owner of the file.
So, chmod u+x emp[1-3] is the correct command to change the protection mode of files starting with the string emp and ending with 1, 2, or 3.
