Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand 'mkdir' and 'cd'
'mkdir new_folder' creates a directory; 'cd new_folder' changes into it.
Step 2: Analyze '&&' operator
'&&' runs second command only if first succeeds, so both happen sequentially.
Final Answer:
Creates 'new_folder' and moves into it -> Option B
Quick Check:
mkdir + cd with && = create and enter folder [OK]

Quick Trick: Use '&&' to run commands only if previous succeeds [OK]
