A Correct answer
Explanation

The /etc/printcap file format uses colon-separated fields, and lines (including the last) traditionally end with a colon. Option A shows :mx#2: with trailing colon, which is correct. Option B lacks the trailing colon, and C uses a backslash continuation marker (for multiline entries, not line endings).
