What does the Linux command 'ls /bin/p* | grep wd' do?

  1. Lists all directories starting with 'p' and containing 'wd'

  2. Lists all files starting with 'p' and containing 'wd' in the filename or path

  3. Deletes all files starting with 'p' and containing 'wd'

  4. Creates a new file starting with 'p' containing 'wd'

The correct answer is: Lists all files starting with 'p' and containing 'wd' in the filename or path

This command lists all files and directories starting with 'p' and containing 'wd' within their filename or path. Option A is incorrect as it only lists directories, while option C is incorrect as it deletes files rather than listing them. Option D is incorrect as it does not create a new file.
