Which command changes your directory to the current home folder?

cd ~
cd ..
cd //
cd Yo Mama

The correct answer is: cd ~

The command that changes your directory to the current home folder is represented by the tilde symbol, which is used in Unix-like operating systems to denote the home directory of the current user. When you use the command with "cd ~", you are instructing the system to change the directory to that specific location, regardless of your current working directory. Using "cd .." would take you up one level in the directory structure, while "cd //" does not correctly refer to any specific home directory and would likely result in an error or an unexpected location. Lastly, "cd Yo Mama" would attempt to change to a directory named "Yo Mama," which most likely does not exist unless specifically created by the user. Therefore, the most accurate command for navigating to the home directory is "cd ~."
