Solution
The correct command to move a file from one directory to another on a Linux system is:
a. mv file.txt /path/to/destination/directory/new_name.txt
and
d. mv file.txt /path/to/destination/directory
The 'mv' command in Linux is used to move files and directories from one location to another. This command also serves the purpose of renaming files and directories.
