   An NGINX configuration has `location /app/` with a nested `location ~ \.php$`. A request arrives for `/app/index.php`. Which location block handles this request?

   • ABoth locations, because the nested regex inherits the parent's configuration.
   • BNeither location, because nested regex locations are not allowed.
   • CThe outer prefix `/app/` because it is the parent.
   • DThe nested regex `~ \.php$` because regex locations take precedence over prefix matches within the selected prefix.

   An NGINX configuration has `location /data/` and `location = /data`. A request arrives for URI `/data`. Which location block handles this request?

   • AThe default location, because neither matches.
   • B`location = /data` because exact matches take precedence over prefix matches.
   • C`location /data/` because it is the longest prefix match.
   • DBoth locations, because they are equally specific.
