PowerShell - Cmdlets and Pipeline

Which of these commands correctly uses the pipeline to filter services that are running?

AGet-Service Where-Object { $_.Status -eq 'Running' }

BGet-Service | Sort-Object Status

CGet-Service -Status Running

DGet-Service | Where-Object { $_.Status -eq 'Running' }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify correct pipeline usage for filtering
Filtering requires piping output to Where-Object with a condition.
Step 2: Check each option's syntax
Get-Service | Where-Object { $_.Status -eq 'Running' } correctly pipes Get-Service output to Where-Object. Get-Service Where-Object { $_.Status -eq 'Running' } misses the pipeline operator. Get-Service -Status Running uses a wrong parameter. Get-Service | Sort-Object Status sorts instead of filters.
Final Answer:
Get-Service | Where-Object { $_.Status -eq 'Running' } -> Option D
Quick Check:
Pipeline + Where-Object = filter running services [OK]

Quick Trick: Use | to connect commands for filtering [OK]
