User1 is attempting to assist user2 with terminating user2`s process 1234. User1 entered the following: kill -9 1234 Why does the process continue to run? 

Answer options:

A. You can kill a process only if you are root.
B. You can kill only a process that you own.
C. You can kill the process only with the pkill command.
D. You need to kill the process with a stronger kill signal.

B

Kill -9 - Kill (terminates without cleanup) Only works if issued by process owner or super user (root) The program cannot respond to this signal; it must terminate Note: Unix provides security mechanisms to prevent unauthorized users from killing other processes. Essentially, for a process to send a signal to another, the owner of the signaling process must be the same as the owner of the receiving process or be the superuser.
