A Correct answer
Explanation

The grep command searches for patterns in files. 'grep plasmodium ' searches all files in the current directory for the text 'plasmodium'. The asterisk () is a wildcard that matches all filenames. Options B, C, and D either use incorrect command syntax or commands that don't perform text search.
