The ZFS configuration on your server is: Pool1 6.67G 31K /pool Pool1/data 31K 31K /data Select the three commands that you would use to 1. Create, 2. List, and 3. Delete a snapshot of the /data file…

Explanation

Options A, C, and E map exactly to ZFS's three-word syntax pattern: zfs snapshot, zfs list, and zfs destroy.

Why the correct answers work:

• A (zfs snapshot pool1/data@now) is the proper create syntax: zfs snapshot <dataset>@<snapname> - no subcommand keyword, just the verb directly.
• C (zfs list -t snapshot) uses the -t type filter to display all snapshots in the pool.
• E (zfs destroy pool1/data@now) destroys the snapshot by its full dataset@snapname reference - the same way ZFS identifies any snapshot.

Why the distractors fail:

• B is invalid - zfs create makes filesystems or volumes, not snapshots; there is no zfs create snapshot subcommand.
• D (zfs list -t snapshot pool1/data) fails because it tries to display pool1/data filtered as type snapshot, but pool1/data is a filesystem - it returns nothing useful; you'd need -r to recursively list its snapshots.
• F is invalid - zfs destroy takes no snapshot keyword; the dataset@snapname format is sufficient to identify it as a snapshot.

Memory tip: ZFS snapshot commands follow a "no extra keywords" rule - snapshot, list -t snapshot, and destroy all act directly on the dataset@name identifier; any answer that inserts an extra noun like "snapshot" as a subcommand argument is wrong.
