Selected Answer: A
the syntax in the given script, such as cmdlet names starting with "Get-", "Add-", "Set-", and the use of the pipeline "|", is characteristic of PowerShell scripting. Moreover, the use of Active Directory cmdlets like "Get-ADUser," "Add-ADGroupMember," and "Set-ADUser" indicates that this script is designed to interact with Active Directory, which aligns with PowerShell's primary use case in managing Windows environments and Active Directory services.

PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language built on .NET. PowerShell helps system administrators and power-users rapidly automate task that manage operating systems (Linux, macOS, and Windows) and processes. A shell script is a computer program designed to be run by a Unix shell, a command-line interpreter.[1] The various dialects of shell scripts are considered to be scripting languages though..
