Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
A. The command 'groupmod -n admin admins' in Linux renames the group 'admins' to 'admin'. This means that the group 'admins' will be changed to 'admin' throughout the system, affecting any permissions or settings associated with the group.
B. The command 'groupmod -n admin admins' does not create new groups. It specifically renames an existing group from 'admins' to 'admin', so this choice is incorrect.
C. The command 'groupmod -n admin admins' does not assign a group as the primary group for a user. It only renames the group 'admins' to 'admin', so this choice is incorrect.
D. The command 'groupmod -n admin admins' does not remove a user from a group. It is used to rename a group, not to manage user memberships within the group, so this choice is incorrect.
E. The command 'groupmod -n admin admins' does not add a user to a group. It is specifically used to rename an existing group, so this choice is incorrect.
