LPIC-1 Exam 101 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 102

Which of the following signals is sent to a process when the key combination Ctrl+C is pressed on the keyboard?

Answer options

• A. SIGTERM
• B. SIGCONT
• C. SIGSTOP
• D. SIGKILL
• E. SIGINT

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, SIGINT, as it is specifically designed to interrupt a process when the user presses Ctrl+C. The other signals, such as SIGTERM, SIGCONT, SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL, have different purposes and do not represent the interrupt signal triggered by this key combination.
