Which of the following files does the /var directory NOT contain?

Kernel files do not change regularly and therefore are contained in the /boot directory, not in the

/var directory.

What is the /var directory?

According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, the /var directory contains regularly-changing system files. This comprises spool directories and files, and administrative and logging data.

Answer option A is incorrect. System log files are stored in the /var directory.

Answer options D and C are incorrect. Print spool files and email-spools are variable data files and therefore are contained in the /var directory.
