Explanation
nmcli device (B) and nmcli connection (E) are two of the core object categories built into the nmcli command-line tool for NetworkManager. nmcli device manages network interfaces (showing status, connecting/disconnecting), while nmcli connection manages saved network profiles (creating, modifying, activating, deleting). The distractors are wrong because nmcli has no ethernet, wifi, or address subcommands - ethernet and wifi are device types, not subcommands, and address management is handled separately via ip address, not nmcli. A helpful memory tip: think of nmcli's main objects as general, networking, radio, connection, device, agent, and monitor - "wifi" and "ethernet" are hardware categories, not nmcli objects.
