B. All files within /proc/ are read-only, and their contents cannot be changed. The /proc/ directory contains virtual files that provide information about the system and kernel. These files are used for monitoring and accessing information about the running system, and they are typically read-only. Changes made to files in /proc/ will not have any effect on the system and are not stored in /etc/proc.d/ or recognized by the kernel.
