I'm going with B) chown bob:bob bobsfile. It's the most straightforward way to give bob the necessary permissions.

Haha, E) vipw -u bob bobsfile? Really? That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. You need a more surgical approach here.

Correct! The superuser can grant write permission by changing the owner of the file to bob.
