Which command can be used to change directory to C?

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

We start by parsing the given Unix directory layout and identify where C resides. The current directory is Top, and the bold items A and B are subdirectories under Top. Inside A there are files (e.g., FL1.TXT) and inside B there is a subdirectory C. With this structure, to reach C from Top you must navigate into B first, then into C.
Option 1: "cd ./C" — This would try to change into a directory named C located directly under Top. However, C is not a direct child of Top; it lives inside B, so this path would fail.
Option 2: "cd ../B/C" — This path attempts to move up one level from Top (to Top's parent) and then into B/C. Since Top is the topmost directory in this context, moving up does not lead to a valid location for B/C, making this incorrect.
Option 3: "cd ./B/C" — This path correctly starts from the current directory (.) which is Top, then goes into B, and then into C. That matches the given hierarchy where C is inside B under Top.
Option 4: "cd C" — This would attempt to change into a directory named C directly under Top. As established, C is not directly under Top, so this would fail.
In summary, only the path that properly reflects the nested structure Top -> B -> C is "cd ./B/C". The other options either point to non-existent locations at Top or require moving up a level, which is not appropriate here.
