A Correct answer
Explanation

The Unix 'tee' command reads from standard input and writes to both standard output (screen/terminal) and one or more files simultaneously. This makes it ideal for viewing output in real-time while also saving it to a file. Option B is incorrect because tee does not only write to files. Option C is incorrect because tee does not only print. Option D describes piping (|), not tee.
