I'm not sure about option B, 'exec date' seems like it might actually execute the date command rather than capturing its output.

Option A looks good, using command substitution to capture the output of the date command.

I'm not sure, but I think it's either A) or E) because they both involve capturing the output of the date command

I agree with Novella, because using $(date) will capture the output of the date command
