Selected Answer: D
D. .bash_history Explanation: The .bash_history file is a log of commands executed in the Bash shell. If a user enters their login and password in plaintext, it will be stored in the .bash_history file. This file can be cleared to remove any plaintext passwords that may have been stored. The .xsession-log file records X session messages, and the .profile and .bashrc files are scripts that are run at login to set environment variables and configure the shell. These files do not typically contain plaintext passwords.
