You want to move a file called assignment.txt into your projects directory. However, there is already a file called "assignment.txt" in the projects directory.

What happens when you execute the “move” (mv) command to move the file into the new directory?

The moved "assignment.txt" file replaces the old "assignment.txt" file that was in the "projects" directory with no warning. correct

An error message warns you that you are about to overwrite an existing file and asks if you want to proceed.

An error message tells you that a file already exists with that name and asks you to rename the new file.

The moved “assignment.txt” file is automatically renamed “assignment.txt (copy)” after it is moved into the “projects” directory.
