Which two commands would you use to view the contents of an ACL?

To view the contents of an Access Control List (ACL) on a Cisco device, the commands "show access-lists" and "show running-config" are effective.

The "show access-lists" command specifically displays the defined ACLs on the router or switch, listing the rules that control traffic. This command shows both standard and extended ACLs, including the specific conditions that must be met for packets to either be permitted or denied.

Additionally, the "show running-config" command provides a view of the current configuration of the device, including all active ACLs as part of that configuration. This command displays an array of settings, including interface configurations and routing protocols, giving a comprehensive view of how ACLs integrate within the overall setup.

Other options either contain commands that do not exist or would not provide the desired information regarding ACLs specifically, making option A the suitable choice for effectively retrieving ACL content.
