Consider the following commands
A) $ nice -n 1 /usr/bin/somecommand
B) $ nice -n 5 /usr/bin/somecommand
C) $ nice -n 10 /usr/bin/somecommand
Which instance of somecommand is run with the highest priority?
A.
A
B.
B
C.
C
D.
none, only superuser can change the priority

The lower the nice-value the higher the priority, so A is the correct value.
Only the superuser may set negative values, but since A, B and C are using positive values this is irrelevant for this Question.
