   Tar requires several options, just to extract a .tar archive, let alone decompress a .bz2 archive.

   The answer would be ‘D’, if that option was actually “bunzip2”.

      That wouldn’t work either, it will bunzip but won’t untar, so will decompress but not extract. I suspect another wrong question/answer. tar is the only on that list that will untar AND unbzip2, but as you say requires option (xjf).
