I'm just hoping the exam doesn't ask for a regex that matches 'Donald Duck' in the timestamp. That would be a real curveball!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option B might work too, but it might be a bit too specific. We'll see what the exam says.

I agree, Option D seems to cover all the elements of the timestamp. The other options look a bit incomplete.

Hmm, that makes sense. I see your point. Option C might be the best choice after all.

I disagree, I believe option C is the correct one because it covers all possible date-time formats shown in the log files.
