(Brady Coleman is a senior DevSecOps engineer at CloudVac Security Private Ltd. He has created a new container named “eccbrad” from the centos:7…

The scenario involves a Docker container created from the centos:7 image. CentOS 7 uses the Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM) as its default package manager. To install a software package like the Apache HTTP Server (httpd) inside this container, the correct command is yum install httpd. Since Docker containers often run the initial process as the root user by default, sudo is typically not required. The command yum install instructs the YUM package manager to download and install the specified package and its dependencies.

A. install-httpd is not a standard command, and sudo is likely unnecessary as the default user in a container is root.

B. install is not the correct command for the YUM package manager; yum is the command-line utility to be used.

C. The syntax yum install-httpd is incorrect. A space is required between the install action and the package name httpd.
