    Correct Answer
    C. Mv file-name new-name
    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.

    E. Cp file-name /
    Explanation
    To copy a file to the root directory, the correct command is "cp file-name /". The "cp" command is used to copy files, and the "/root" directory specifies the destination. By using "/" as the destination, the file will be copied directly to the root directory.

    • A. 

      True

    • B. 

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The root home directory and the '/' directory are not the same place. The root home directory is the default directory for the root user, while the '/' directory is the top-level directory in the file system hierarchy. The root home directory is typically located within the '/' directory, but they are distinct entities.

    Explanation
    To go to your home directory of the account you're currently logged into, you can use the command "cd ~". The "~" symbol represents the home directory, so when you use "cd ~", it takes you directly to your home directory.
