Explanation

The command 'scp -r working/* webuser@corporate-web:/var/www/html' is correct. 'scp' (Secure Copy Protocol) uses SSH to securely transfer files over the network. The '-r' flag enables recursive copying of all files and subdirectories within the 'working' directory. The syntax 'user@host:/path' specifies the remote destination. Option B ('tar') is an archive tool that does not natively support remote transfer in this syntax. Option C ('cp') only works locally - it cannot copy to a remote host using the user@host syntax. Option D ('mv') also operates locally only and would remove the source directory rather than copy it.
