I'm pretty sure the & character is used to run the command in the background, but I'm not completely confident. This question seems a bit tricky.

Option C is the correct answer. The command is run in the background of the current shell, allowing you to continue using the terminal while the task is executed.

I'm not sure, but I think B) The result of the command defines if the next command will be run makes sense too.
