CInteractive mode runs commands one by one; script mode runs a whole file at once.
DScript mode shows results immediately after each command.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand interactive mode behavior

    Interactive mode lets you type and run one command at a time and see the result immediately.

  3. Final Answer:

    Interactive mode runs commands one by one; script mode runs a whole file at once. -> Option C

  4. Quick Check:

    Interactive = one command, Script = whole file [OK]
Quick Trick: Interactive = one command; script = whole file run [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing which mode runs commands one by one
