1. What is the structure for renaming a file

Explanation

The correct answer is "mv file-name new-name". The "mv" command in Unix/Linux is used to move or rename files and directories. In this case, "file-name" is the name of the file that needs to be renamed, and "new-name" is the desired new name for the file. Therefore, using the "mv" command with the appropriate file names allows for the renaming of a file.
