I’m pretty confident that `mount -a` mounts filesystems listed in `/etc/fstab` with the "auto" option, so I’d go with D.

I feel like it might be option D, but I can't recall if it only mounts those with the "auto" option or if it does something else too.

I think the command `mount -a` is related to mounting filesystems, but I'm not sure if it mounts all or just specific ones.
