Highlight matching parts? Nah, I need to see the non-matching stuff. egrep -v is my go-to for that.

Option C? Really? Who needs the version info when you're trying to filter text? Clearly, the egrep -v is the way to go.

I always get confused between -v and -i options. But I guess -v is the one that gives me the opposite of what I'm searching for. Nice one!

I always remember it as 'v' for 'invert' - it inverts the search to show what doesn't match.

I agree with Leila, because the -v option in egrep is used to invert the match, showing only lines that do not match the pattern.
