The correct answer is: B. rm -r *
The rm
command is used to delete files. The -r
option tells rm
to delete directories recursively, meaning that it will delete the directory and all of its contents. The *
wildcard matches any file or directory name. So, the command rm -r *
will delete all files and directories in the current directory, as well as all files and directories in its subdirectories.
Option A, rm *
, would delete all files in the current directory, but it would not delete any directories. Option C, rm all
, is not a valid command. Option D, rm *.*
, would delete all files in the current directory, including hidden files. Option E, None of the above, is also incorrect.
