What command is used to count just the number of lines contained in a file ?

Correct answer: D. wc - l

  • A. wc - r
  • B. wc - w
  • C. wc - c
  • D. wc - l

Explanation

In `wc`, the `-l` option counts newline characters, which normally corresponds to the number of lines in a text file. The other options count words or bytes, and `-r` is not the line-count option.
