I bet the exam writer is sitting back, sipping their coffee, and laughing at us as we try to figure out this mystery of the & character. It's like a secret handshake for Linux wizards!

Option C makes the most sense to me. Running the command in the background is very useful when you don't want to wait for it to finish before using the terminal again.

I'm pretty sure the & character is used to run the command in the background, but I'm not completely confident. This question seems a bit tricky.

Option C is the correct answer. The command is run in the background of the current shell, allowing you to continue using the terminal while the task is executed.
