Explanation

Two tasks are required: (1) search file contents for a specific string, and (2) navigate to a different directory. grep (A) is the standard Linux command for searching file contents using patterns or plain strings - for example, 'grep "search term" /path/to/files' returns files and lines that contain the match. cd (F) is the command used to change the current working directory, allowing the user to navigate to the target directory. chmod (B) changes file permissions. rm (C) deletes files. pwd (D) prints the current working directory (useful for orientation but not navigation). sudo (E) elevates privileges but is not a navigation or search command on its own.
