The -c option in the tar command is used to create a new archive. When you use tar -c, it tells the tar command that you want to create an archive file.
For example, the command:
tar -cvf archive_name.tar directory_name-c: Creates a new archive.-v: Makes the operation verbose, showing the files being added to the archive.-f: Specifies the name of the archive file to create.
In this example, archive_name.tar will be created containing the contents of directory_name.
