Ah, the classic tail -f! This is my go-to command for keeping an eye on those log files. Much better than constantly refreshing the file manually.

I'm not sure, but I think it's D) tail -f because it shows the end of the file.

The tail -f command is definitely the way to go here. It lets you watch a log file in real-time, which is super useful when you're troubleshooting issues.

I'm not sure, but I think tail -f makes sense because it shows the end of the file as it is written to.
