The answer is B. In the vi editor, commands such as moving the cursor or copying lines into the buffer can be issued multiple times or applied to multiple rows by specifying the number right in front of a command. For example, to move the cursor four spaces to the right, you can type "4l". Similarly, to copy two lines into the buffer, you can type "2yy". This is known as a count, and it applies the command to the specified number of lines or characters.
