Selected Answer: A
sha256sum calculates the SHA-256 hash of a file. This can be compared to the hash provided by the source of the file, but the question is vague about that.

The question is a bit vague IMO. What are you comparing your file to? Where did you get this file? You can use sha526sum to generate a checksum of a given file. Then, you could compare your checksum with the checksum of the source file, assuming one exists.
