A Correct answer
Explanation

The command 'cd*' with a wildcard will work only if the shell globbing pattern resolves to 'cd' (which happens if there's a file starting with 'cd' in the current directory, or if the glob doesn't match and the shell passes the literal string). However, this is an extremely contrived edge case that doesn't reflect normal usage. The question is poorly designed.
