Explanation

Two different commands address the two tasks. 'lsmod' (C) reads /proc/modules and displays a formatted list of all kernel modules currently loaded, which corresponds to displaying currently installed/loaded module information. 'dmesg' (F) prints the kernel ring buffer, which captures messages from the boot process including which modules were loaded at startup - making it the tool to review startup module loading. The distractors: 'insmod' manually inserts a module, 'rmmod' removes a module, 'depmod' generates module dependency maps, and 'cat /etc/issue' shows the OS distribution banner - none of which fulfill these two tasks.
