Answer Description

The sed utility, short for stream editor, is designed to filter and transform text. It is used on the command line and within scripts for pattern matching and substitution, making it an ideal tool for search and replace operations within files without the need for writing complex scripts or programs. The other choices do not match the specific utility that directly performs search and replace operations on a file.
