Which of the following PAM modules allows the system administrator to use an arbitrary file containing a list of user and group names with restrictions on the system resources available to them?
B is correct: The pam_limits PAM module sets limits on the “system resources” that can be obtained in a user-session. Users of uid=0 are affected by this limits, too.

But “pam_listfile” is a PAM module which provides a way to deny or allow services based on an arbitrary file.
Tip: In this question one administrator uses an arbitrary file in order to limit the users to access the available resources. Consequently is the restriction on resources not on an arbitrary file.
Correct answer is pam_listfile
pam_listfile is a PAM module which provides a way to deny or allow services based on an arbitrary file.

The pam_limits PAM module sets limits on the system resources that can be obtained in a user-session. Users of uid=0 are affected by this limits, too. Correct answer is pam_limits

The question mentioned `restrictions on the system resources`. I think the answer 'B' is correct.
