The answer is the fourth one: cp proga progb source.

Explanation for each option:

  1. mv source proga progb: This command attempts to move the directory source and the files proga and progb to a new location, which is not specified here. It does not copy the files to the source directory.

  2. paste /source proga progb: The paste command is used to merge lines of files, not to copy files. Additionally, /source refers to an absolute path, not the source directory under your home directory.

  3. copy proga progb to source: This command is not valid in Unix/Linux systems. The copy command is used in some other operating systems like Windows, but not in Unix/Linux.

  4. cp proga progb source: This is the correct command. The cp command is used in Unix/Linux to copy files. Here, it copies proga and progb into the source directory.

In summary, the correct command to copy the files proga and progb to the source directory is cp proga progb source.
