The command chmod 755 filename.log should be used to set filename.log permissions to -rwxr--r--. The chmod command is a tool for changing file permissions on Linux file systems. The permissions can be specified in octal notation, where each digit represents the permissions for the owner, group, and others respectively. The permissions are encoded as follows:

0: no permission

1: execute permission

2: write permission

4: read permission

5: read and execute permissions (4 + 1)

6: read and write permissions (4 + 2)

7: read, write, and execute permissions (4 + 2 + 1)

The command chmod 755 filename.log will set the permissions to -rwxr--r--, which means that the owner has read, write, and execute permissions (7), the group has read and execute permissions (5), and others have read and execute permissions (5). This is the correct command to use to accomplish the task. The other options are incorrect because they either set the wrong permissions (chmod 640, chmod 740, or chmod 744) or do not exist (chmod -G). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 11: Managing Files and Directories, page 345.

The best command to use to transfer the local file accounts.pdf to the remote /tmp directory of the server with the IP address 10.10.10.80 is B. scp accounts.pdf user@10.10.10.80:/tmp. This command will use the secure copy protocol (scp) to copy the file from the local machine to the remote server over SSH. The command requires the username and password of the user on the remote server, as well as the full path of the destination directory.

The other commands are either incorrect or not suitable for this task. For example:

A. rsync user@10.10.10.80:/tmp accounts.pdf will try to use the rsync command to synchronize files between the local and remote machines, but it has the wrong syntax and order of arguments. The source should come before the destination, and a colon (:) should separate the remote host and path.

C. cp user@10.10.10.80:/tmp accounts.pdf will try to use the cp command to copy files, but it does not work over SSH and it has the wrong syntax and order of arguments. The source should come before the destination, and a colon (:) should separate the remote host and path.

D. ssh accounts.pdf user@10.10.10.80:/tmp will try to use the ssh command to log into the remote server, but it has the wrong syntax and arguments. The username should come before the remote host, and a file name is not a valid argument for ssh.

The issue is that the administrator did not set the default target to graphical.target. A target is a unit of systemd that groups together other units by a common purpose or state. The graphical.target is a target that starts the graphical user interface (GUI) along with other services. The administrator used the command systemct1 isolate graphical.target to switch to this target temporarily, but this does not change the default target that is activated at boot time. To make this change permanent, the administrator should have used the command systemct1 set-default graphical.target, which creates a symbolic link from /etc/systemd/system/default.target to /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target.

The other options are not correct explanations for the issue. The administrator did reboot the server properly by using systemct1 reboot, which shuts down and restarts the system cleanly. The administrator did not need to set the default target to basic.target, which is a minimal target that only starts essential services. The administrator did not shut down the server improperly, which could have caused file system corruption or data loss, but not affect the default target. References: systemct1(1) - Linux manual page; How to Change Runlevels (targets) in SystemD

The commands that will list and remove the corresponding packages are dnf history and dnf history undo last. The dnf history command will display a list of all transactions performed by dnf, such as installing, updating, or removing packages. Each transaction has a unique ID, a date and time, an action, and a number of altered packages. The dnf history undo last command will undo the last transaction performed by dnf, meaning that it will reverse all package changes made by that transaction. For example, if the last transaction installed some packages, dnf history undo last will remove them.

The other options are not correct commands for listing and removing corresponding packages. The dnf list command will display a list of available packages in enabled repositories, but not the packages installed by dnf transactions. The dnf remove command will remove specified packages from the system, but not all packages from a specific transaction. The dnf info command will display detailed information about specified packages, but not about dnf transactions. The dnf upgrade command will upgrade all installed packages to their latest versions, but not undo any package changes. References: Handling package management history; dnf(8) - Linux manual page
