Final answer:

Option 4: dd if=/dev/floppy of=/home/sam/floppy.img

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct dd command to copy a floppy is Option 4: dd if=/dev/floppy of=/home/sam/floppy.img. This command specifies the input file (if) as the floppy device (/dev/floppy) and the output file (of) as the desired location (/home/sam/floppy.img). This command will create an image file of the floppy.
