In order, which set of Linux permissions are least permissive to most permissive?

In order, which set of Linux permissions are least permissive to most permissive?
  1. 777, 444, 111
  2. 544, 444, 545
  3. 711, 717, 117
  4. 111, 734, 747


Linux permissions are read numerically as “owner, group, other.”

The numbers stand for read: 4, write: 2, and execute: 1. Thus, a 7 provides that person, group, or other with read, write, and execute. A 4 means read-only, a 5 means read and execute, without write, and so on. 777 provides the broadest set of permissions, and 000 provides the least.
