B Correct answer
Explanation

MySQL's configuration file on Unix/Linux systems is named 'my.cnf' and is typically located in /etc/. The file contains server settings including port, data directory, buffer sizes, and other operational parameters. Options A and C have incorrect filenames ('my.conf', 'mysq.conf'), while D adds 'mysql' prefix unnecessarily.
