The command that can be used to download the RPM package kernel without installing it is yumdownloader kernel. This command is part of the yum-utils package, which contains a suite of helper tools for yum package manager. To use this command, you need to install the yum-utils package first1. The downloaded package will be saved in the current directory. You need to use root privilege because yumdownloader will update package index files during downloading. Unlike yum command, yumdownloader will not download any dependent packages1.

The other commands are either invalid or do not have the desired functionality. yum download --no-install kernel is not a valid yum command, as yum does not have a --no-install option2. rpm --download --package kernel is not a valid rpm command, as rpm does not have a --download or a --package option3. rpmdownload kernel is not a standard Linux command. rpm has a native support to download a package from a URL and install it, but not to download a package without installing it4.
