Explanation
This question tests knowledge of the correct Linux command used to change the ownership of a file.
Common mistakes.
- A. chmod modifies file permission bits (read, write, execute), not ownership - 'u=tux' is not valid chmod syntax.
- B. 'newuser' is not a standard Linux command; useradd/adduser create new user accounts and have no function for changing file ownership.
- D. 'transfer' is not a valid Linux command; no such utility exists for reassigning file ownership.
- E. passwd is used to change user account passwords and has no capability to modify file ownership.
