While troubleshooting a network misconfiguration on an Ubuntu Server, you need to compare the live network state with the definitions in the YAML files located in /etc/netplan without applying any changes. Which option should be added to the "netplan status" command to display only the differences between the running configuration and the YAML definitions in a color-coded, diff-style format?
The "--diff" option tells netplan status to analyze the current network state and highlight any differences from the configuration declared in the YAML files. It outputs a familiar diff-style view, marking lines that exist only in the running system or only in the YAML with plus or minus signs and color-coding them for quick identification. Other options such as "--all" (show inactive interfaces), "--debug" (verbose debugging output), and "--root-dir" (search YAML in an alternate root) do not generate this comparison view.
