Bash Scripting - User Input

How can you modify this script to ensure the password input is not displayed and the prompt appears on a new line?

read -p "Enter password: " -s password
echo "Password saved"

ANo change needed; script is correct

BChange to <code>read -s -p "Enter password: " password; echo</code>

CUse <code>read -p "Enter password: " password -s</code>

DAdd <code>echo -n</code> before read command

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Fix option order for silent input
Options -s and -p must come before variable name; Change to read -s -p "Enter password: " password; echo does this.
Step 2: Add echo to move to new line after silent input
Because -s hides input and prompt stays on same line, adding echo prints a newline.
Final Answer:
Change to read -s -p "Enter password: " password; echo -> Option B
Quick Check:
Correct option order and newline after input [OK]

Quick Trick: Add echo after read -s -p to move to new line [OK]
