   An administrator is setting up a new NGINX server and wants worker processes to run as 'webuser' with the group 'webgroup'. The administrator adds the directive 'user webuser webgroup;' to the top of the nginx.conf file. After starting NGINX, the administrator notices that the worker processes are running as 'webuser:webgroup' as expected. Later, the administrator adds a new server block that includes the directive 'user webuser2;' inside the server block. What will happen when NGINX reloads?

   • AThe directive will be ignored, and worker processes will continue to run as 'webuser:webgroup'.
   • BAll worker processes will now run as 'webuser2'.
   • CThe server block directive will override the main context directive for that specific server.
   • DNGINX will fail to reload with an 'invalid directive' error.
