I would go with A as well, since it's about checking the status.

But restarting the service won't necessarily tell us if it's currently running. We need to check the status first with systemctl status httpd.

I'm not sure about that. I think the answer might be D) systemctl restart httpd to try and restart the service.

Haha, can you imagine if the answer was B? Like, 'Hmm, the website isn't working. I know, let me just mask the httpd service, that'll fix it!'

Absolutely. Masking the service (option B) would actually disable it, which is the opposite of what we want to do here. Good thing they didn't include that as the correct answer.

Yeah, I agree. That seems like the logical choice. You need to check the status of the service, not reload, restart, or mask it.
