After adding a host using mgmt_cli --format json, how would you extract only the name field using jq?

The correct answer is B. jq '.name'. When mgmt_cli returns the output with --format json, the resulting JSON includes "name" at the top level. Running jq '.name' extracts just the value of that field.
