Wait, isn't suid supposed to let you run a program as the owner, not as root? I'm pretty sure it's B, but I could be wrong.

Because the setuid permission is represented by the number 4 in the first digit of the chmod command.

Oh man, I always get these suid commands mixed up. I think it's one of the 'chmod' options, but I can never remember which one.
