Which of the following commands sorts the output of the command export-logs?

The < operator redirects a file as input to a command; it cannot redirect one command's output into another command.

The > operator redirects a command's output to a file named 'sort', not to the sort utility itself.

The & operator runs export-logs in the background and then runs sort independently, with no data connection between the two processes.

The pipe operator | sends the standard output of export-logs directly to the sort utility as standard input, allowing sort to process and alphabetically order the results. This is the standard Unix/Linux mechanism for chaining command output through filters like sort, grep, or awk without intermediate files.

The <> operator opens a file descriptor for both reading and writing simultaneously; it is not used to chain two commands together.
