I'm going with A and E as well. The other options don't look right for stream redirection in Bash.

Haha, Tamala's got a point. I bet someone who's new to Bash would try that and get really confused. 'Why isn't this working?'

D is definitely not a valid option. Who would use triple greater-than signs for redirection? That's just silly.

I agree with Gail. The greater-than symbol (>) is used for output redirection, and the 2>&1 syntax redirects stderr to stdout.

I'm not sure about the other options, but D) >>> doesn't seem like a valid stream redirection operator.

Hmm, I think A and E are the valid options here. The less-than and greater-than symbols are used for input and output redirection, respectively.
