Which command renames the group 'sales' to 'western_sales_division'?

• A. groupadd eastern_sales_division
• B. groupmod -n western_sales_division sales
• C. grouprename western_sales_division sales
• D. groupmod -n sales western_sales_division

Answer: (B)

Renaming a group in Linux is done with the groupmod command, using the -n option to specify the new group name. The syntax is groupmod -n <new_name> <old_name>. Here, you want to rename the existing group named sales to western_sales_division, so the correct command is groupmod -n western_sales_division sales. The other options either create a different group, attempt a rename in the opposite direction, or use a non-existent command, which doesn’t accomplish the requested rename. For example, using groupmod -n sales western_sales_division would try to rename western_sales_division to sales, not the reverse.
