CompTIA Linux+ XK0-006 (V8) Practice Question

The correct command is restorecon -Rv /var/www/html. When a file is moved, it retains its original SELinux context. In this scenario, the index.html file kept its user_home_t context from the home directory, which the Apache daemon (httpd_t) is not allowed to read. The restorecon command restores the default SELinux file context based on the system's policy rules for the specified path. For /var/www/html, this is typically httpd_sys_content_t, which the web server can access. The -R flag applies this recursively, and -v makes the output verbose. Using chcon would work temporarily but is not best practice as the change would be lost after a system-wide relabel. Disabling SELinux with setenforce 0 would resolve the immediate symptom but would be a poor security practice. The semanage fcontext command is used to add or modify the default context policy itself, which is not necessary here since /var/www/html already has a correct default policy.
