Modify apache config file directly

Hi, I need to add the following to my apache config file:
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes Indexes AllowOverride All Require all granted
I have 2 questions regarding this

]
• How do I figure out what the full path is to my public_htme folder
• In which config file do I add this block?

The 2nd question I think I do already know the answer, but I'd like to get this confirmed. For the record I have WHM/cPanel on CentOS 7. I have read the docs about the risks when modifying httpd.conf directly
When I open that file with nano it is completely empty, so can I just add my modifications in this file, restart Apache and be done with it? :)

  Hello, The default path to the public_html directory is the following by default:
  /home/$username/public_html/
  You'd replace "$username" with the username of the cPanel account the domain name is associated with. As far as setting up that entry for a specific domain name, you can follow the steps and examples outlined on the following document: Modify Apache Virtual Hosts with Include Files - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation

  I have read the docs about the risks when modifying httpd.conf directly Advanced Apache Configuration - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation Thank you.
