A user tries to run more -d file.txt but gets an error. What is the likely reason?
AThe user lacks read permission on the file
BThe <code>-d</code> option is not supported by more
CThe file <code>file.txt</code> does not exist
DThe more command requires sudo privileges
Step-by-Step Solution

    more does not support the -d option; it is a less option.

    The -d option is not supported by more -> Option B

    more lacks -d option [OK]
Quick Trick: Use less for advanced options like -d [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming -d works with more
