Explanation
spdadd (option E) is the correct statement used in a setkey parameter file to create a new Security Policy Database (SPD) entry - it follows the syntax spdadd <src> <dst> <policy> and is part of the standard IPsec toolchain on Unix-like systems. Options A (spd), C (newspd), D (spdnew) are simply not valid setkey directives and do not exist in the command set. Option B (addspd) reverses the conventional verb-noun order used throughout the setkey syntax, where the action always precedes the object (e.g., spdadd, spddelete, spdflush).
Memory tip: Think of setkey commands as verb + noun - add + spd → spdadd. The same pattern holds for related commands like spddelete and spdflush, so once you know the naming convention, you can reconstruct the whole family.
