A Debian 12 system has a network card that the kernel names 'enp0s3'. The admin wants to rename it to 'eth0' persistently so scripts that reference 'eth0' continue to work. Which approach achieves this?

Add a 'name' option in /etc/network/interfaces for the interface

Edit /etc/default/grub and add 'net.ifnames=0' to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX

Create a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/ that assigns NAME="eth0" based on the MAC address

Use the 'ip link set enp0s3 name eth0' command and add it to rc.local
