Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Permit 'show' only

    Why it's wrong here

    This allows all show commands including those with sensitive info.

  • Deny 'show' commands

    Why it's wrong here

    This blocks all show commands.

  • Permit 'show.*' and deny 'show.*password.*'

    Why this is correct

    The regex allows the base command but filters the sensitive argument.

  • Permit 'show' and deny all arguments

    Why it's wrong here

    This is not a valid syntax.
