   An NGINX configuration has `location ~ \.(png|jpg)$` and `location /images/`. A request arrives for `/images/logo.png`. Which location block handles this request?

   • A`location ~ \.(png|jpg)$` because regex locations take precedence over prefix matches.
   • BNeither location, because the request does not match any location.
   • CBoth locations, because they are equally specific.
   • D`location /images/` because it is the longest prefix match.

   An NGINX configuration has `location ^~ /static/` and `location ~ \.css$`. A request arrives for `/static/style.css`. Which location block handles this request?

   • ANeither location, because `^~` is not a valid modifier.
   • B`location ^~ /static/` because the `^~` modifier prevents regex evaluation.
   • C`location ~ \.css$` because regex locations always take precedence.

   An NGINX server has three server blocks: one with `listen 80 default_server`, one with `listen 80 server_name example.com`, and one with `listen 80 server_name www.example.com`. A request arrives with Host header `example.org`. Which server block handles this request?

   • AThe server block for www.example.com, because it is the last defined.
   • BNone of the server blocks; NGINX returns a 404.
   • CThe server block for example.com, because it is the first defined.
   • DThe default_server block, because no server_name matches the Host header.
