Which option should an administrator include with the groupadd command to create a system group, ensuring the new group's GID is taken from the SYS_GID_MIN-SYS_GID_MAX range defined in /etc/login.defs?
The -r (or its long form --system) option tells groupadd to create a system group. System groups are meant for system accounts and services; their GIDs are allocated from the SYS_GID_MIN-SYS_GID_MAX range rather than the regular GID_MIN-GID_MAX range.
