Reference / correct answer:
The correct permission to allow the file's owner to open and edit the file, while only allowing the group to read the file, is 0640. In Linux file permissions, the first digit (0) represents special permissions, the second digit (6) represents the owner's permissions (read and write), the third digit (4) represents the group's permissions (read only), and the fourth digit (0) represents others' permissions (none). Thus, 0640 correctly reflects the required settings for the owner's read and write access and read-only access for the group.
