Which command is used to copy all files having the string chap and any two characters after that to the progs directory ?

Correct answer: A. cp chap?? progs

  • A. cp chap?? progs
  • B. cp chap* progs
  • C. cp chap[12] /progs/*.*
  • D. cp chap?? /progs/*

Explanation

The `?` wildcard matches exactly one character, so `chap??` selects filenames beginning with `chap` followed by exactly two characters. The `cp` command then copies those matches into the `progs` directory.
