The permanent rule --add-service=ntp --permanent is added, but such changes only take effect after a firewall reload.

D is correct: firewall-cmd --reload applies the permanent rule allowing traffic on UDP port 123, and systemctl restart ntpd ensures the NTP daemon is refreshed.

Incorrect Options:

A, B: These commands do not apply firewall rules.

C: --complete-reload is valid but overkill for applying one rule, and rarely used unless debugging.

The command cat toDelete.txt | xargs rm -rf will delete all files and directories with names that are contained in the toDelete.txt file. The cat command reads the file and outputs its contents to the standard output. The | operator pipes the output to the next command. The xargs command converts the output into arguments for the next command. The rm -rf command removes the files and directories recursively and forcefully. This is the correct way to accomplish the task. The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong options (-f instead of -a for xargs), the wrong arguments (toDelete.txt instead of toDelete.txt filename for rm), or the wrong commands (rm instead of xargs). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 11: Managing Files and Directories, pages 349-350.

The Linux administrator should configure /etc/yum.repos.d/db.repo so that the requested packages can be installed. This file defines a custom repository for yum, which is a package manager for RPM-based systems. The file should contain information such as the name, baseurl, gpgcheck, and enabled options for the repository. By creating this file and enabling the repository, the administrator can use yum to install packages from the custom repository. The /etc/yum.conf file is the main configuration file for yum, but it does not define repositories. The /etc/ssh/sshd.conf file is the configuration file for sshd, which is a daemon that provides secure shell access to remote systems. The /etc/resolv.conf file is the configuration file for DNS resolution, which maps domain names to IP addresses. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Packages and Software, page 559.
