Solution

The correct command to use in this case would be:

cp data.txt backup/

This command will create a copy of the file "data.txt" in the directory "backup". Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. cp is the command used in Unix and Linux systems to copy files and directories.

  2. data.txt is the name of the file you want to copy.

  3. backup/ is the directory where you want to place the copy of the file. The slash at the end is used to specify a directory.

So, when combined, the command cp data.txt backup/ tells the system to create a copy of "data.txt" and place it in the "backup" directory.
