   A script needs to wait until a service becomes active. The admin writes a while loop that checks the service status every 5 seconds, but the loop never exits even after the service is active. What is a likely cause?

   • AThe sleep command is missing, causing the loop to spin too fast.
   • BThe loop uses 'while true' without a break condition.
   • CThe service status command always returns a non-zero exit status.
   • DThe condition is checked before the service status is updated.
