LPIC-1 Exam 101 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 93

Which of the following commands loads a kernel module along with any required dependency modules?

Answer options

• A. depmod
• B. modprobe
• C. module_install
• D. insmod
• E. loadmod

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, modprobe, which is specifically designed to handle module dependencies and load them as needed. A (depmod) is used to generate a list of module dependencies but does not load modules itself. C (module_install) is not a standard command, D (insmod) loads a single module but does not handle dependencies, and E (loadmod) is not a recognized command.
