I was torn between C and B, but C is definitely the right choice.

I think it's C. The -p option is perfect for this.

I vaguely recall that -P is not a standard option, so I think that rules out D.

I'm not sure about the flags, but I feel like -r is for recursive and might not work here.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the correct option is C) mkdir -p, since it creates the entire path at once.

I think the command we need is the one that allows creating parent directories, but I can't remember if it's -p or -R.
