DOnly the PATH is updated; alias ll is not set.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand .bash_profile execution at login
The .bash_profile runs once at login, setting PATH to include /custom/bin and then sourcing .bashrc.
Step 2: Understand .bashrc execution on new terminals
Since .bashrc is sourced by .bash_profile, the alias ll='ls -l' is set for the shell session.
Final Answer:
The PATH includes /custom/bin and alias ll is available. -> Option B
Quick Check:
.bash_profile sets PATH + sources .bashrc = alias set [OK]

Quick Trick: Sourcing .bashrc in .bash_profile applies aliases at login [OK]
