Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • ✗

    The /var entry has a wrong filesystem type.

    Why it's wrong here

    Wrong type would produce a 'wrong fs type' error, not missing mount point.

  • ✗

    The UUID for /var is incorrect in fstab.

    Why it's wrong here

    The error says mount point does not exist, not invalid UUID.

  • ✓

    The /var directory has been deleted or is missing.

    Why this is correct

    The error 'mount point does not exist' and 'No such file or directory' for /var indicate the directory is missing.

  • ✗

    The /var filesystem is corrupted.

    Why it's wrong here

    Filesystem corruption would cause a different error, not 'mount point does not exist'.
