What about /dev/zero? It’s for zeros, right?

I think it's A) /dev/null. It discards data.

I’m pretty confident that /dev/null is the right answer. It’s like a black hole for data, right?

I’m a bit confused between /dev/null and /dev/zero. I know /dev/zero provides zeros, but I can’t recall what /dev/null does exactly.

I remember practicing with similar questions, and /dev/null definitely sounds familiar for redirecting data.

I think /dev/null is the one that discards unneeded data, but I’m not completely sure.
