Which command is described as capable of scheduling a command to run later?

• A. schtasks
• B. at
• C. psexec
• D. WMIC

Answer: (B)

Scheduling a command to run later is about queuing a one-time task for a future moment. The at command is designed precisely for this: you specify the time (and optionally date) and provide the command to execute, and the system runs it at that moment. This makes it the natural fit for a single delayed execution.

Other options serve different purposes. schtasks is for creating and managing scheduled tasks in Task Scheduler, which can be recurring or more complex; psexec runs commands immediately on remote systems; WMIC is for system management and querying, not for scheduling future actions. So, for scheduling a command to run later in a straightforward way, the at command is the best choice.
