Option D will move the file-position pointer to byte # 8 from the end of the file, whereas the other options will move the pointer to byte # 2 (Option A and C) and byte # 2 after the current position (Option B). Therefore, option D will not change the file-position pointer to the same position as the others, making it the correct answer.
