A systems administrator must clean up all application files in the directory /var/log/app. However, the company’s security policy requires the files to be kept on the backup server for one year. The Linux server has only the tar and bzip2 packages installed.
Which of the following commands will package and compress the files?
A. tar -zcvf applicationfiles.tar.bz2 /var/log/app/*
B. tar -jcvf applicationfiles.tar.bz2 /var/log/app/*
C. tar -cvf applicationfiles.tar.bz2 /var/log/app/*
D. tar -xvf applicationfiles.tar.bz2 /var/log/app/*
