I'm just glad the shebang isn't used to summon a genie who grants wishes. That would be one powerful script!

D is the way to go. The shebang is like the script's way of saying, 'Hey, use me to run this show!' Can't go wrong with that.

Haha, I almost went with C. I was picturing the script magically extracting itself into a file. That would be a neat trick, but not how it actually works.

I was debating between B and D, but D makes the most sense. The shebang is used to indicate the program that should be used to run the script, not to provide identical functionality.

Yes, D is the correct answer. The shebang specifies the program that should be used to process the script.

I think D is correct. The shebang is used to specify the program to process the script.

The correct answer is D. The #! followed by a file path is the shebang, which tells the operating system which program should be used to execute the script. This is a standard way to specify the interpreter for a script.

I think it's important to understand how the script interacts with the program at that location.
