PowerShell - Cross-Platform PowerShell

A$count = (bash -c "ss | grep ssh | wc -l") -as [int]

B$count = Get-Process ssh | Measure-Object | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Count

C$count = (Get-NetTCPConnection -State Established | Where-Object { $_.RemoteAddress -like '*ssh*' }).Count

D$count = (Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock { ss | grep ssh | wc -l })

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Use bash -c to run native Linux commands
Running 'ss | grep ssh | wc -l' inside bash counts SSH connections; bash -c executes this from PowerShell.
Step 2: Cast output to integer
Output is string; casting with -as [int] converts it to integer for counting.
Final Answer:
$count = (bash -c "ss | grep ssh | wc -l") -as [int] -> Option A
