I definitely remember that & doesn't redirect output to /dev/null, so I think that rules out option A.

I'm pretty confident the answer is C. The & character runs the command in the background of the current shell.

I remember learning about this in class. The & character runs the command in the background, so the current shell can continue to accept other commands.

Option C makes the most sense to me. Running the command in the background is very useful when you don't want to wait for it to finish before using the terminal again.
