How to approach select two (multi-select) questions

Multi-select questions tell you to 'Choose TWO' or 'Choose THREE'. Getting partial credit is not a thing — you must select all correct answers with no incorrect ones. The stem always states how many to choose, so trust it. These questions require precision, not best-guess elimination.

Which TWO of the following commands can be used to list currently loaded kernel modules? (Choose two.)

A
modinfo -l
Why wrong: modinfo displays information about a specific module, not a list. The -l option is invalid.
B
cat /proc/modules
/proc/modules directly shows the kernel's current modules; cat displays it.
C
ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
Why wrong: This lists available module files, not the currently loaded ones.
D
depmod -e
Why wrong: depmod generates module dependency files; it does not list loaded modules.
E
lsmod
lsmod formats the contents of /proc/modules and is a standard command to list loaded modules.
