A Correct answer
Explanation

A pipe is a Unix mechanism that allows commands to be chained together, where the output of one command becomes input to the next. Commands are processed sequentially - each command must complete before the next begins, effectively keeping subsequent commands in a wait state until their turn arrives. Filters are tools that process data, not the queuing mechanism itself.
