Explanation

The command 'systemctl enable --now httpd' accomplishes two things simultaneously: 'enable' creates the necessary symlinks so the httpd (Apache) service starts automatically at boot, and the '--now' flag immediately starts the service without requiring a separate 'systemctl start httpd' command. Option A is wrong because 'mask' prevents a service from starting. Option B uses a non-existent '--runtime boot' flag. Option C uses 'set-property restart', which modifies a service property but does not enable or start it.
