Wait, there's a file called 'myfile.txt' in /tmp? That's like the Linux equivalent of 'C:\\Temp' - it's where all the weird stuff happens!

I wonder what kind of weird stuff happens in /tmp/myfile.txt.

The command 'touch /tmp/myfile.txt' will NOT update the modify timestamp on the file.

C looks interesting, but I'm not sure if 'sed' updates the timestamp. Gotta be careful with those tricky Linux commands, you know?

Haha, option E is just too easy. Who doesn't know that 'touch' updates the timestamp? It's like the Linux equivalent of 'sudo' - everyone knows it!

User 1: I agree, option E is definitely the one that won't update the timestamp.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. Doesn't the 'echo' command update the timestamp? I need to double-check that.

Option A won't update the timestamp because it just checks the file, not modifying it. Seems like the obvious choice here.

I believe option E will also not update the modify timestamp because it just touches the file without changing its content.
