Haha, the -f flag is a classic 'force it through' move. But that's not what we want here. We need to be more careful with existing files.

I think option C is the way to go. The -n flag is the only one that checks for existing files before moving them.

I'm not sure, but I think option D might be the one to use. The -f flag could mean it overwrites existing files.

Ha! This is a tricky one. I bet the answer is D, -f, because who needs confirmation when you can just bulldoze through and delete everything in your path?

I see your point, but I still think D, -f, is the correct answer because it forces the move without any confirmation.

I think the answer is C, -n, because it stands for 'no clobber' which means it won't overwrite existing files.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Maybe option B, -b, would be a good choice to create a backup file instead of overwriting the original?

I'd go with option A, -i. It would prompt me before overwriting the file, which is always a good idea when dealing with important data.
