Explanation
The best task to perform to resolve this issue is B. Remove the entry for portal.comptia.org from the local hosts file. This is because the local hosts file has a wrong entry that maps portal.comptia.org to 10.10.10.55, which is different from the actual IP address of 192.168.1.55 that is returned by the DNS server. This causes a mismatch and prevents the workstation from accessing the website. By removing or correcting the entry in the hosts file, the workstation will use the DNS server to resolve the domain name and access the website successfully.
To remove or edit the entry in the hosts file, you need to have root privileges and use a text editor such as vi or nano. For example, you can run the command:
sudo vi /etc/hosts
and delete or modify the line that says:
10.10.10.55 portal.comptia.org
Then save and exit the file.

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization format often used for configuration files and in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Ansible and Kubernetes. YAML files are easy to read and write, making them ideal for specifying infrastructure configurations and managing declarative environments.

Explanation
The free -h command can be used to check the amount of free and used memory in the system in a human-readable format. This can help to troubleshoot the issue of mysqld being killed due to out of memory.
The vmstat -a 1 4 command can be used to monitor the system's virtual memory statistics, such as swap usage, paging activity, and memory faults, every one second for four times. This can help to identify any memory pressure or performance issues that may cause out of memory errors. The nc -v 127.0.0.1 3306 command would attempt to connect to the MySQL server on port 3306 and display any diagnostic messages, but this would not help to troubleshoot the memory issue. The renice -15 $( pidof mysql ) command would change the priority of the mysql process to -15, but this would not prevent it from being killed due to out of memory. The lsblk command would display information about block devices, not memory usage. The killall -15 command would send a SIGTERM signal to all processes with a matching name, but this would not help to troubleshoot the memory issue.

To apply changes to a systemd service unit file, the administrator needs to reload the systemd daemon using the command systemct1 daemon-reload (B). This will make systemd aware of the new or changed unit files.
The other commands will not reload the systemd daemon or apply the changes. References:

The command that will provide the correct information about whether files from the wget package have been altered since they were installed is rpm -V wget. This command will use the rpm utility to verify an installed RPM package by comparing information about the installed files with information from the RPM database. The verification process can check various attributes of each file, such as size, mode, owner, group, checksum, capabilities, and so on. If any discrepancies are found, rpm will report them using a single letter code for each attribute.
The other options are not correct commands for verifying an installed RPM package. The rpm -i wget command is invalid because -i is used to install a package from a file, not to verify an installed package. The rpm -qf wget command will query which package owns wget as a file name or path name, but it will not verify its attributes. The rpm -F wget command will freshen (upgrade) an already installed package with wget as a file name or path name, but it will not verify its attributes.
