Answer 1

The correct option is A Only the directory entry

MV command in unix changes only the directory entry.

MV (move) is a Unix command that moves one or more files or directories from one place to another. If both filenames are on the same file system, this results in a simple file rename; otherwise the file content is copied to the new location and the old file is removed.
