Correct Answer: C
To create a new file that shares the same inode number as an existing file, a hard link must be created to the original file. The command for creating a hard link is 'ln <original_file> <new_file>'. In this case, 'ln a.txt c.txt' will create a hard link named c.txt that shares the inode number 525385 with a.txt, since it links directly to the same data on disk.
