1. Use the “systemctl” command to list all units of services and submit the unit name with the description “Load AppArmor profiles managed internally by snapd” as the answer.

They already told us what to do.

Use the command systemctl. And find the description as “Load AppArmor profiles managed internally by snapd”.

systemctl

systemctl | grep "Load AppArmor profiles managed internally by snapd"

And we got the answer.

Answer: snapd.apparmor.service
