          Explanation
          

            
The &gt; operator redirects the standard output of a command to a file. wc infile calculates the word count of the specified file, and &gt;newfile saves that result into 'newfile'. Option 272 is also technically functional but less direct, while 273 and 274 use invalid syntax for this purpose.
