Which command adds a new group to the system?

Explanation:
Creating a new group is done with the groupadd command. It adds a new group definition to the system by creating an entry in /etc/group, and you must provide the group name as an argument—for example, groupadd developers would create a group named developers. The other options don’t create new groups: groupmod is for modifying an existing group, and an invalid option like -n isn’t part of the groupadd syntax. Simply typing the command without a name wouldn’t specify what group to create, so it wouldn’t succeed.
