CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 71

Which of the following files should be used to install software with a package manager?

Answer options

• A. package.json
• B. package.zip
• C. package.deb
• D. package.tar

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as .deb files are specifically designed for package management in Debian-based systems, making them suitable for software installation. Options A and B do not contain the necessary installation data for package managers, while D, although a compressed file, is not a package format recognized by package managers for direct software installation.
