You want to print only the lines from file.txt where the second field is greater than 100 using awk. Which command achieves this?

Aawk '{if $2 > 100 print $0}' file.txt

Bawk '$2 > 100 {print $0}' file.txt

Cawk '{print $0 if $2 > 100}' file.txt

Dawk '$2 => 100 {print $0}' file.txt

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand condition syntax in awk
Conditions go before the action block. The correct comparison operator is >, not =>.
Step 2: Check each option
awk '$2 > 100 {print $0}' file.txt uses correct syntax: $2 > 100 {print $0}. awk '{if $2 > 100 print $0}' file.txt misses parentheses and braces. awk '{print $0 if $2 > 100}' file.txt has wrong syntax. awk '$2 => 100 {print $0}' file.txt uses invalid operator =>.
Final Answer:
awk '$2 > 100 {print $0}' file.txt -> Option B
Quick Check:
Condition before action, use > operator [OK]

Quick Trick: Put condition before braces, use > not => [OK]
