Lesson 1 Quiz, Answer No. 3

The correct answer is:
c.
Script source access: disabled
Read: enabled
Write: disabled
Log visits: enabled
Execute Permissions: Scripts only

Visitors to your site need to be logged, so Log visits needs to be enabled. They also need Read permission to view static .htm pages, and they need to be able to execute scripts so that the dynamic pages can be created. Visitors to your site should never be granted permission to execute programs or executables. Script source access should never be enabled on a live Web server because it allows users to access your pages' source code.
