I think they are meaning to have copy software from install cd to disk,
but the way they have it as an answer is odd. I agree it is a wording
problem.

the question would be more clear if it asked:
3.13 Which one of the following commands would you use to
determine what
type of the file my_file is?
( ) ls < my_file > -type
( ) find < my_file > -type
( ) file < my_file >
( ) All of the above
Having file < file > is definitely confusing. The first file is the
file command, and
the second file is the name of the file they are looking at.

Here again the wording is to blame. They are asking about the
differences between cp and ln. Compare what would happen if you cp
myfile1 myfile2 as opposed to ln -s myfile1 myfile2. No matter where
the myfile1 and myfile2 are located, what is true? If you look at the
question this way (I know it isn't what is being asked, but I think it
is what was supposed to be asked), D makes sense.

This also doesn't take into account all of the possible variants of
Linux. I could go out tomorrow and create a cd (I'll call it Femix).
It will be a pro-female linux, and will have no man pages (that would be
sexist). The test would be wrong for some time until the writers found
out about my new distribution, and got around to fixing the test.
