No, no, no... Definitelly homework. It's an easy question. You have it in 'man setbuf'.

Are you filling some sort of query there?

Choice 5 does it, because it is an alias for
Code:
setvbuf(stdout,NULL, _IONBF, 8192)
, but for explicitly set buffering off
I would use command
Code:
setvbuf(stdout,NULL,_IONBF,0)
.
