Haha, the -f flag is a classic 'force it through' move. But that's not what we want here. We need to be more careful with existing files.

I think option C is the way to go. The -n flag is the only one that checks for existing files before moving them.

I think option B might also work, as the -b flag could indicate that the file already exists.

Ha! This is a tricky one. I bet the answer is D, -f, because who needs confirmation when you can just bulldoze through and delete everything in your path?

But -n option is used to not overwrite existing files, so I think C is the right choice

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Maybe option B, -b, would be a good choice to create a backup file instead of overwriting the original?

I think option B is correct because it creates a backup file.

I'd go with option A, -i. It would prompt me before overwriting the file, which is always a good idea when dealing with important data.

Option C, -n, seems like the most logical choice here. It would prevent overwriting the existing file in the backup directory.
