You have been tasked with placing passwords on all groups.
What is one outcome of doing this?

A.
Access to each group is granted only to users in the group.

B.
Users who are not members of the group can access it if they know the password.

C.
Users who are primary members of the group are required to use the group password to gain access to the group.

D.
Users who are secondary members of the group are required to use the group password to gain access to the group.

Explanation:

Passwords can be created for groups. If a user account references a file that is owned by a group that the user account is not a member of then the user is requested to enter the group password for the group. User accounts that are a member of the group are not requested to enter a password. Passwords are encrypted within the /etc/group file but however are rarely used.
