Selected Answer: A
The dmesg command is a Linux utility that displays kernel-related messages retrieved from the kernel ring buffer. The ring buffer stores information about hardware, device driver initialization, and messages from kernel modules that take place during system startup.

Selected Answer: A
While systemctl controls the state of services as well as reports on those services' status, systemctl would not be the best utility for checking on kernel-related messages. The dmesg utility is a more direct way of checking on kernel-related messages on a system.
