A Correct answer
Explanation

The kill command terminates processes using their PID. stop, abort, and exit are not standard Unix process termination commands.

AI explanation

The standard Unix/Linux command to terminate a process is kill pid, which sends a signal (by default SIGTERM) to the process identified by its PID, asking it to terminate. stop, abort, and exit are not real Unix process-control commands in this context.
