I’m a bit confused about the CLI commands; I think option B is close, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s the exact syntax we used in practice.

I practiced a similar question where we had to restart services after making changes, so I think option C might be correct since it mentions restarting ntpd.

I feel like option D sounds familiar because I practiced changing settings through the GUI, but I can't recall if that's the right way for NTP specifically.

I think I remember that changing the NTP server usually involves editing a configuration file, but I'm not sure if it's the XML editor or just a text editor.
