Solution

The correct command to use in this case would be cp data.txt backup/. This command will create a copy of the file "data.txt" and place it in the "backup" directory. Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Open your terminal.
  2. Navigate to the directory where "data.txt" is located using the cd command.
  3. Once you're in the correct directory, use the command cp data.txt backup/. This command tells the system to copy the file "data.txt" into the "backup" directory.
  4. Press Enter to execute the command.

Please note that this assumes that the "backup" directory is in the same directory as "data.txt". If it's located elsewhere, you would need to specify the full path to the "backup" directory.
