Explanation

top and ps are the correct answers because both are standard Linux commands available inside Docker containers (which run Linux-based environments) that display running processes and their resource usage. top provides a real-time, interactive view of CPU and memory consumption per process, while ps (process status) lists current processes and their resource details - both are essential for diagnosing high CPU or memory usage slowing a device down.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A. show processes - this is a Cisco IOS CLI command used on routers/switches, not valid inside a Linux container.
  • C. wmic - Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line; only available on Windows, not in Linux containers.
  • E. proc - not a standalone command; /proc is a Linux virtual filesystem you read, not a command you run for performance diagnostics.

Memory tip: Think "TP" - Top and Ps are the Linux Troubleshooting Pair. Any answer that sounds like Windows (wmic) or Cisco (show) is automatically wrong in a Docker/Linux container context.
