Explanation

ipa-server-install is correct because it is the dedicated command for bootstrapping a complete FreeIPA identity management server - it installs and configures all sub-components (Kerberos KDC, LDAP directory, DNS, certificate authority, etc.) and establishes a new FreeIPA domain in a single operation. The question specifically asks for the command without path or parameters, and ipa-server-install is exactly that bare command name. There are no meaningful distractors listed here since the question presents only one choice (A: Correct vs B: Incorrect), and marking it Incorrect would be wrong because no other command in the FreeIPA toolset performs full server bootstrapping - related commands like ipa-replica-install join an existing domain rather than creating a new one.

Memory tip: Think "install the IPA server" → ipa-server-install. If you're adding a replica to an existing domain, that's ipa-replica-install; if you're enrolling a client, that's ipa-client-install. The noun after ipa- tells you the role being set up.
