Selected Answer: B
The GRUB boot loader is a crucial component of a Linux system. It is responsible for loading the operating system into memory and allowing the user to select the desired operating system to boot into. In order to install GRUB on a legacy MBR (Master Boot Record) of a SATA hard drive, the administrator needs to specify the correct device name. The device name is used to identify the hard drive in the system, and it must be specified correctly in order for GRUB to be installed and function properly. The correct device name to use in this scenario would be /dev/sda. The /dev/sda device name is the standard name used to identify the first SATA hard drive on a system. This is the device name that should be specified in the grub-install command
