Accepted Answer

A. bg myapp The 'bg' built-in sends a stopped job to the background by delivering SIGCONT to the process group, allowing execution to resume. Because the job runs in the background, the shell prompt remains available for the user to enter additional commands. Job identifiers or command names can be passed as arguments to 'bg'.

Answer

B. continue myapp 'continue' is a shell loop control keyword used inside for/while loops to skip to the next iteration - it cannot resume a stopped process.

Answer

C. exec myapp 'exec' replaces the current shell process with a specified command - it does not resume a stopped background job.

Answer
