Specifying the complete pathname for both source and destination ensures that the files are copied from and to the correct locations, minimizing the risk of errors or accidental file overwrites. Partial pathnames (option B) might lead to confusion or mistakes if the current directory is not what the user expects. Making duplicates of the file (option C) is not directly related to the use of the COPY command and could lead to unnecessary file clutter. Relying on online prompts (option D) might not always be feasible, especially in command-line environments where such interactive guidance might not be available.
