Answer = A
.profile overrides /etc/profile. genius is exported in .profile.
.bashrc is not used in interactive logins.
it is answer C, but there is no precedence involved, when user logs in/has interactive session .bashrc is never even looked up !!!! So it should actually state that .profile is executed after /etc/profile therefore genius=ritchie
