A Correct answer
Explanation

In Unix/Linux systems, the default permission for a newly created directory is 755 (rwxr-xr-x). This means owner has read, write, execute permissions, while group and others have read and execute. This is standard because directories need execute permission to allow traversal (cd into them).
