ifconfig eth1 down

ifdown eth0

ifconfig eth0 down

Option A is incorrect because it specifies eth1 instead of eth0. Option B is incorrect because ifdown is used to take down all network interfaces, not just one specific interface. Option D is incorrect because it uses a different command, ip link, to disable the interface instead of ifconfig.
