    The line that would indicate the passwords are there is given as Kolton:34uyx:431:0:Back Door:/root/bin/bash

    Explanation:

    The options are not given here. The options given were

    1) kolton:34uyx:431:0:Back Door:/root:/bin/bash

    2) adam:x:341:52:Adam Fox:/users/adam:/bin/bash

    3) clifford:x:687:301:non secure user:/root:

    4) eddie:x:100:100:://users/eddie:

    Out of these

    option 2 is not correct as the location of bin is not i the users, it is in the root.

    option 3 is not correct as the users does not contain the root directory. It is other way around

    option 4 is not correct as this not the appropriate way to address the directory in the Linux.
