Explanation

chmod (change mode) is the Linux command used to modify file and directory permissions, controlling read, write, and execute access for the owner, group, and others. If a user cannot open a document, the likely cause is insufficient read permissions on the file, which chmod can correct. ifconfig (B-note 'lfconfig' in the question is a typo) is used to configure network interfaces. pwd (C) prints the current working directory. grep (D) searches for patterns within file contents.
