The best command to use for printing the file in numerical order is 'sort -n'. The 'sort' command sorts lines of text within a file, and the '-n' option specifies a numerical sort, which is necessary for ordering numerical data correctly.
The answer is C, sort –n. The sort command is used to sort lines of text in a file. The –n option specifies that the sort should be done numerically.
