E) -f ? Come on, that's for checking if a file exists, not comparing strings. These options are making my head spin!

D) <= ? Really? I guess the exam writers are trying to trick us. That's just plain wrong for string comparisons in Bash.

Hmm, I was leaning towards B) -eq, but now I'm not so sure. Strings and numbers are so confusing in Bash sometimes.
