Forget the inode, I'm just going to ln -s a.txt c.txt and call it a day. Symbolic links are where it's at, am I right?

I'm going with C. It's the only option that actually mentions creating a file, and the inode number is just a red herring. Or maybe it's not... *scratches head*

Wait, wait, wait... did they seriously just ask us to create a file with the same inode number? What kind of sorcery is this?!

I'm not sure, but I think ln --i 525385 c.txt might also work

I agree with Leandro, because ln a.txt c.txt creates a link with the same inode number

Oh, I got this! You gotta use the inode number, so E is the way to go. Ain't no way I'm messing this up.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the answer is C. ln a.txt c.txt. That's how you create a hard link, right?

Hold up, are we supposed to use the inode number or the file name? This is confusing, someone needs to clarify this.
