Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand jobs output
The jobs command shows job number, status, and command. The -l option adds the process ID after the job number.
Step 2: Match output format
Since both jobs are running with PIDs 12345 and 12346, jobs -l will show job number, PID, status, and command.
Final Answer:
[1]+ 12345 Running sleep 100 & [2]- 12346 Running sleep 200 & -> Option C
Quick Check:
jobs -l adds PIDs to normal jobs output [OK]

Quick Trick: jobs -l shows PIDs next to job numbers [OK]
