B) systemctl mask httpd? Are you kidding me? That's like trying to fix a flat tire by setting the car on fire! Let's stick with the sane options here.

I'm going with C) systemctl reload httpd. A reload should gracefully restart the service without interrupting any active connections. Gotta keep that uptime high, you know?

I'm not sure, but I think A) systemctl status httpd would also be a good choice to check the status of the service.

D) systemctl restart httpd is the way to go. If the service isn't running, a simple restart should get it back up and running. No need to complicate things.

A) systemctl status httpd seems like the obvious choice to check if the Apache service is running. You can't fix a problem if you don't know the current status!
