PowerShell - Active Directory

What will be the output of this PowerShell command sequence on Windows 10 if the AD module is not installed?

Import-Module ActiveDirectory -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue; Get-Module ActiveDirectory

AEmpty output, module not loaded

BNo output, module is imported silently

CAn error message about missing module

DList of all installed modules including ActiveDirectory

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand Import-Module with -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
This suppresses errors if the module is missing, so no error message appears.
Step 2: Check Get-Module output when module not loaded
If the module is not installed and import fails silently, Get-Module returns empty output because the module is not loaded.
Final Answer:
Empty output, module not loaded -> Option A
Quick Check:
Missing module + silent import = empty Get-Module output [OK]

Quick Trick: Silent import hides errors; check Get-Module for loaded modules [OK]
