A.
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
Answers
A.
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
B.
mount /dev/sdb0 /media/usb
Answers
B.
mount /dev/sdb0 /media/usb
C.
mount /dev/sdb /media/usb
Answers
C.
mount /dev/sdb /media/usb
D.
mount -t usb /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
Answers
D.
mount -t usb /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb command will mount the USB drive to /media/usb. This command will attach the filesystem on the first partition of the USB drive (/dev/sdb1) to the mount point /media/usb, making it accessible to the system. The mount /dev/sdb0 /media/usb command is invalid, as there is no such device as /dev/sdb0. The mount /dev/sdb /media/usb command is incorrect, as it will try to mount the entire USB drive instead of its partition, which may cause errors or data loss. The mount -t usb /dev/sdb1 /media/usb command is incorrect, as usb is not a valid filesystem type for mount.
