Which of the following configuration files should be modified to globally set shell variables for all users?

1. The question is poorly formulated. Environment variables stored in profile and shell variables should be in bashrc.
   So people tend to choose B here which is more logical.
   But the correct answer here is the only _A_, because there is no /etc/bashrc file on debian10, debian7 or ubuntu systems existed. The correct file is /etc/bash.bashrc which sourced from /etc/profile

   The only OS where I have found /etc/bashrc – it’s centos8

2. B

   # /etc/bashrc

   # System wide functions and aliases
   # Environment stuff goes in /etc/profile
