Question 58

Which of the following commands moves and resumes in the background the last stopped shell job?

    Correct Answer: B

    To move and resume the last stopped shell job in the background, the correct command is 'bg'. The 'bg' command is specifically designed to resume a stopped job and continue its execution in the background, allowing the user to regain control of the terminal while the job runs. 'fg', on the other hand, brings the job to the foreground, which is not what the question is asking for. Options 'run' and 'back' are not valid commands for this purpose.
