Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Unix command cd .. changes the current working directory to its immediate parent directory. The option cd /up is an invalid command, cd ~ navigates to the user's home directory, and cd - toggles back to the previously visited directory, making them incorrect for moving to the parent folder.
