Selected Answer: A
To switch to Joe's account and properly load Joe's environment, including changing the working directory to Joe's home directory, Ann should use the following command: A. su - Joe Explanation: A. su - Joe: The - (or --login) option with su initiates a full login shell for Joe, which includes switching to Joe's home directory and loading Joe's environment variables. This is the correct command to use if Ann wants to start a session as Joe with Joe's environment.
