<code>mkdir
cd backup</code>

<code>cd backup
mkdir backup</code>

<code>cd backup
cd backup</code>

<code>mkdir backup
cd backup</code>

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Create the folder first
The command mkdir backup creates the folder named backup in the current directory.

After creating it, cd backup moves you inside that folder.
Step 3: Check other options
cd backup mkdir backup tries to cd into backup before it exists, causing an error. mkdir cd backup misses the folder name in mkdir. cd backup cd backup tries to cd twice without creating the folder.

mkdir backup cd backup -> Option D
