Your senior system administrator asked you to edit the /etc/inetd.conf file in order to disable the time service.

After doing so, what would be the next thing to do?

A.
Reboot the machine

B.
Restart the inetd

C.
Find the PID of inetd and kill it with kill -15

D.
Find the PID of inetd and send it a SIGHUP

Explanation/Reference:
From the man pages:
inetd reads the configuration-file and the default settings in  /etc/default/inetd once when it starts up and rereads them again whenever it receives a hangup signal, SIGHUP. New services can be activated and existing services can be deleted or modified by editing the configuration-file and then sending inetd a SIGHUP signal.
