Answer : A and D

Reason:

strace is used to trace the execution of an executable.

Linux’s ldd command reports the names of the libs required by an application plus the path to each lib. If ldd lists a lib but does not report a path for that lib then that lib is missing and needs to be installed. Ldd is run from the command line in a terminal.

Not B and C, /var/log/dmesg – Contains kernel ring buffer information. When the system boots up, it prints number of messages on the screen that displays information about the hardware devices that the kernel detects during boot process.

/var/log/messages instead aims at storing valuable, non-debug and non-critical messages. This log should be considered the “general system activity” log.
