39: The answer should be c, because of:

a) Get System Directory -> not available for RealTime

b) If built and used in run-time, VI may points to path inside EXE file

c) correct

d) only available for Windows

No NO NO.

C, is not correct as most it is probably not writable by ordinary users who have permissions locked down for Program Files directories.

D, is only available for certain versions of Windows, definitely not all.

This is probably an old question, and certainly a bad one.  It may not have any correct answer.

There have been many questions on these exams over the years that are ambiguous or just outright wrong.

I think the question is pretty clear ant not ambiguous at all. It says "Which of the following methods ensures that the default location is a writable location?". And the only correct answer is A. Nowhere in the question does it say which target, and if it was real-time, no other answer could ensure it was a writable location.

I don't think it is that clear.  The issue is the question starts out with "You develop an application to be deployed on different operating systems".  That makes the question too broad.

Which operating systems?  Windows (of various versions), Mac, Linux, Real time.

No matter, the only possible correct answer is A. Or is there any operating systems any other answer would be correct?
