You are in /var/www/html. You want to copy a file index.html from /home/user/website to your current directory using a relative path. Which command is correct?

A<code>cp /home/user/website/index.html .</code>

B<code>cp ../../home/user/website/index.html .</code>

C<code>cp ../../../../home/user/website/index.html .</code>

D<code>cp ../../../home/user/website/index.html .</code>

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate relative path from /var/www/html to /home/user/website
From /var/www/html, going up three levels: html -> www -> var reaches /. Then go into home/user/website.
Step 2: Form the relative path
The relative path is ../../../home/user/website/index.html. So the command is cp ../../../home/user/website/index.html ..
Final Answer:
cp ../../../home/user/website/index.html . -> Option D
Quick Check:
3 ups to root, then home path = ../../../home/user/website [OK]

Quick Trick: Count folders up to root, then add full path [OK]
