AOptions -h and -T must be separated by space
BOptions -h and -T can be combined without error
CThe -T option is not supported on this system
DThe user typed a wrong command

Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand option compatibility

    The -T option shows filesystem type but may not be supported on all systems.

    Options -h and -T can be combined without space; syntax error suggests unsupported option.

  3. Final Answer:

    The -T option is not supported on this system -> Option C

  4. Quick Check:

    Unsupported option causes syntax error = B [OK]
Quick Trick: Check man page if option causes syntax error [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming combined options need space
  • Ignoring system differences
  • Typing wrong command accidentally
