Explanation
GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) and LILO (LInux LOader) are the Linux bootloaders responsible for loading the kernel after POST. If a Linux system powers on but fails to complete the boot process, the bootloader is the first component in the startup chain to investigate for corruption or misconfiguration. sudo (A) is a runtime privilege-escalation command and is not involved in booting. ifconfig (C) is a network interface configuration command used after the OS is running. ntldr (D) is the Windows NT Loader and is irrelevant to Linux boot failures.
