    The correct option is c. / etc/updatedb. conf

    Explanation:

    In Linux operating system, locate command is used to search for directories and files in the system.

    The locate command uses a database file which is generated by updatedb command to search for a pattern.

    Therefore, Lynn can modify the / etc/updatedb. conf file so that the locate command doesn't include those results in the search results.

    You can further explore the available options of locate command by typing the man locate command in the terminal.
