A system administrator needs to copy the directory "/var/log" and all its subdirectories from the local server to a remote host, ensuring file permissions, ownership, and timestamps remain intact. Which option combination should be applied to accomplish this?
-P
-pr
-p
-r
The "-pr" flags tell scp (Secure Copy Protocol) to perform recursive copies of directories while preserving timestamps, permissions, and ownership. The "-p" option by itself maintains metadata but does not recurse into subdirectories, and "-r" by itself copies directories without preserving metadata. The "-P" option designates an alternate port and does not affect recursion or metadata preservation.
