The command `docker swarm nodes` is not a valid Docker CLI command to list nodes in a Swarm cluster.

AYes

There is no `docker swarm nodes` command; using this would result in a command not found error from the Docker CLI.

BNoCorrect

The command `docker swarm nodes` is syntactically incorrect; the correct subcommand for managing and listing Swarm nodes is `node`, as in `docker node ls`.
