The correct answer is B. foo would be removed while bar would remain accessible. Here's why: Hard links are multiple directory entries (names) that point to the same underlying data on the filesystem. Deleting one of the hard links (in this case, foo) only removes that specific name, not the underlying data. As long as at least one hard link exists (bar in this case), the data remains accessible. Therefore, even after deleting foo, the content is still accessible through the hard link bar.
