LPI 701-100 Exam - Topic 11 Question 54 Discussion

Given the following excerpt of a Dockerfile:Run apt-get --y update && apt-get install --y fortunes && apt-get cleanWhy are the multiple apt-get commands combined in one RUN statement instead of using multiple RUN statements?
D) To execute both commands in the same container instance and void Docker to reset the container to the original base image.
A) To prevent the commands from running in parallel because Docker executes all RUN statements in their own container at the same time.
B) To ensure the execution order of the commands because Docker might evaluate the statements of a Dockerfile in any order.
C) To avoid the creation of unnecessary images because Docker creates a new image for each RUN statement.
E) To execute the apt-get install command only if the apt-get update command was successful because Docker does not check the success of RUN statements.

I vaguely recall that Docker checks the success of commands, but I'm not completely certain if that's why we combine them.
