Which command downloads the nano package as an RPM using yumdownloader?

• A. yumdownloader nano
• B. yum install nano
• C. rpm -ivh nano.rpm
• D. dnf download nano

Answer: (A)

yumdownloader fetches a package’s RPM from configured repositories without installing it. Running yumdownloader nano downloads the nano RPM into your current directory, giving you the file you can inspect or install later. If you want to pull in dependencies at the same time, you can add --resolve, but the basic usage shown downloads just the nano RPM itself. The other options don’t fit this goal: installing with yum install would actually install the package, not just download it; rpm -ivh nano.rpm would install a pre-downloaded RPM from disk; and dnf download would use DNF’s tooling, not yumdownloader, which is specifically what the question is asking about.
