EXAMPLE QUESTION + SOLUTION:

Which command creates a compressed archive named backup.tar.gz from the Documents directory?

A) zip backup.tar.gz Documents

Explanation:  zip creates .zip archives, not .tar.gz. Also, .tar.gz implies use of tar and gzip.

B) tar -czf backup.tar.gz Documents

Explanation:  tar with -c (create), -z (gzip compression), and -f (file name) is the correct syntax.

C) gzip Documents

Explanation:  gzip compresses files, not directories, and does not archive multiple files into one.

D) tar -xf backup.tar.gz Documents

Explanation:  -x is for extracting, not creating archives.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:  To create a .tar.gz archive, tar -czf is the standard command. It combines multiple files or directories into one archive and compresses it with gzip, making it efficient for backup and transfer.
