Option a Close all files and applications and run fsck.

Explanation:

In a Unix/Linux system, whenever there are some files seem to be corrupted, we can run command fsck to check for the consistency of the file system. The fsck give option to repair the damaged file systems or to review problems exists in the file system without fixing them. This command is similar to the ScanDisk feature that appears in the Windows Operating System.
