Explanation

The /r flag specifies a restart (not a full shutdown), and /t sets the countdown timer in seconds. Option C (shutdown /r /t 10) is the only syntactically valid restart command in the list. Option A (shutdown /s /t 0) shuts the machine down completely instead of restarting it (/s = shutdown). Option B (shutdown /t) is missing the required action flag (/r or /s), making it invalid. Option D (shutdown /t /t 0) duplicates the /t flag without specifying an action, which is also invalid syntax.
