The correct command to put the output of the date command into the shell variable mydate is: A. mydate="$(date)" In this command, the output of the date command is captured and stored in the mydate variable using command substitution (the syntax $(command)). The value stored in mydate will be a string representing the date and time returned by the date command.

Command substitution is a feature in the bash shell that allows you to execute a command and capture its output as a string. It is denoted by enclosing the command in the syntax $(command).
