Essential Commands

Which character, appended to the end of a command, runs that command in the background as a child process of the current shell?

  • A !
  • B +
  • C &
  • D %
  • E #
Explanation

An ampersand (&) terminates an asynchronous command list in common Unix shells, causing the command to run in the background while the current shell continues accepting commands.
