Best answer
The correct option is (c) Help returns the entire set while look for returns specific commands

The best I can explain: The ‘help’ command is used to return all the commands surrounding a particular toolbox name entered along with it. The ‘look for’ command is used to return a particular function or set of functions whose name matches with the keyword entered in along with the ‘look for’ command.
