Bash Scripting - Loops

You want to print only the fruits that start with the letter 'b' from this list:

fruits="apple banana cherry blueberry"
for fruit in $fruits; do
  # Fill condition here
  echo "$fruit"
done

Which condition inside the loop correctly filters fruits starting with 'b'?

Aif [ $fruit = 'b' ]; then

Bif [[ $fruit == b* ]]; then

Cif [[ $fruit =~ b* ]]; then

Dif [ $fruit == 'b*' ]; then

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand string pattern matching in Bash
Double brackets [[ ]] support pattern matching with == and wildcards like '*'.
Step 2: Check each condition
A uses [[ $fruit == b* ]] which matches strings starting with 'b'. B uses single brackets for exact 'b' match. C uses [[ $fruit =~ b* ]]; b* regex matches zero or more 'b's (including none), so every string. D uses single brackets which don't support patterns or ==.
Final Answer:
if [[ $fruit == b* ]]; then -> Option B
Quick Check:
Use [[ var == pattern* ]] for prefix match = A [OK]

Quick Trick: Use [[ var == prefix* ]] to match string start in Bash [OK]
