Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
A. The correct command to manually load a kernel module in Linux is 'modprobe'. This command allows the system administrator to load the specified module into the kernel, resolving the hardware issue by providing the necessary functionality.
B. The 'insmod' command is also used to manually load kernel modules in Linux. However, 'modprobe' is the preferred command as it handles module dependencies automatically, which can be crucial for proper module loading and functionality.
C. The 'systemctl load module' command is not the correct way to manually load a kernel module. 'systemctl' is used for managing system services and units, not for loading kernel modules.
D. There is no 'loadkernel' command in Linux for manually loading kernel modules. The correct commands for this task are 'modprobe' or 'insmod'.
