   Shouldn’t this be C. ?

   ypmatch [ -kt ] [ -d domain ] key … mapname
   ypcat [ -kt ] [ -d domain ] [ -h hostname ] mapname

   where mapname is on of the following:
   Use “ethers” for map “ethers.byname”
   Use “aliases” for map “mail.aliases”
   Use “services” for map “services.byname”
   Use “protocols” for map “protocols.bynumber”
   Use “hosts” for map “hosts.byname”
   Use “networks” for map “networks.byaddr”
   Use “group” for map “group.byname”
   Use “passwd” for map “passwd.byname”

   So answer C would match for the user “user” in the passwd map. Using ypcat, in my opinion, it would be “ypcat -d example.com passwd | grep user”
