The correct answer is C. pat$.
The grep
command is used to search for a pattern in a file or set of files. The pattern can be a regular expression, which is a special type of text that can be used to match a variety of patterns.
The $
character is a special character in regular expressions. It matches the end of the line. So, the pattern pat$
will match the pattern pat
at the end of a line.
The other options are incorrect. The ^
character matches the beginning of the line. The pat^
pattern would match the pattern pat
at the beginning of a line. The pat
pattern would match the pattern pat
anywhere in a line. The pat
pattern would match the pattern pat
anywhere in a line, including at the beginning or end of the line.
