Answer options

• A. getent homes
• B. getent uids
• C. getent passwd
• D. getent users
• E. getent logins

The correct answer is C, as 'getent passwd' retrieves the user account information from the system's user database. The other options either do not exist or do not provide a list of users, making them invalid for this purpose.
