Default OT finish for pine wood floor?

Friends have just purchased and are going to re-do the pine wood floors and
asked what they should use as a finish. The house is post WWII? and I'm
surprised the floors are pine but they are original with the house. Are
these floors supposed to be varnished, shellacked, or oiled? Boiled in
oil?

My guess is that the modern varnishes would be tougher than the pine? But
that an oil finish would need very frequent tender loving care.

Thanks in advance,
Josie
