To enable the repo you would have enabled=1, the answer should be C

enabled: When set to 1, yum uses the repository. The repository is disabled if set to 0. hence the correct answer is only C

d is the right answer

No, because the protocol is file:// to identify local repositories, not http://

And ENABLED on yum repos is 1 not 0, as the explanation of this answer is way wrong

No its not. The correct answer is C.

From the RH Consumer Portal:
enabled=value
This is a simple way to tell yum to use or ignore a particular repository, value is one of:
0 — Do not include this repository as a package source when performing updates and installs. This is an easy way of quickly turning repositories on and off, which is useful when you desire a single package from a repository that you do not want to enable for updates or installs.
1 — Include this repository as a package source.
