-4
B.
-3
C.
-1
D.
-2
E.
None of the above
Answer

Answer: Option E

Solution

Answer: Option E
Solution:
In Unix/Linux, the ps command is used to display information about active processes.

To show the entire command line of the process being run, the correct option is -f (full format) or -w (wide output), not the given options.

The commonly used options for displaying the full command line are:

ps -f → Displays full-format listing, including command-line arguments.

ps -ef → Shows all processes in full format.

ps aux → Provides detailed information about all running processes.

Since none of the given options (-4, -3, -1, -2) are correct, the correct answer is None of the above.
