  1. I agree, C is the correct answer

    ORAPWD
    You can create a password file using orapwd utility. For some Operating systems, you can create this file as part of standard installation.

    Users are added to the password file when they are granted the SYSDBA, SYSOPER, SYSASM, SYSKM, SYSDG or SYSBACKUP privilege.

    The Oracle orapwd utility assists the DBA while granting SYSDBA, SYSOPER, SYSASM, SYSKM, SYSDG or SYSBACKUP privileges to other users. By default, SYS is the only user that has SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges. Creating a password file, via orapwd, enables remote users to connect with administrative privileges.
