Which of the following commands correctly starts the htop program in a Linux terminal?
Arun htop
Bstart htop
Chtop
Dexecute htop
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Recall the syntax to run a program

    In Linux, typing the program name alone runs it if installed and in PATH, so 'htop' starts the program.

  2. Step 2: Check other options for correctness

    Commands like 'start', 'run', or 'execute' are not valid Linux commands to launch htop directly.

  3. Final Answer:

    htop -> Option C

  4. Quick Check:

    Run program by typing its name [OK]
Quick Trick: Type command name alone to run installed programs [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Adding 'start' or 'run' before command
  • Using Windows-style commands
  • Typing 'execute' which is invalid
