Option D? Really? The whole point of these commands is to use them together. Who wrote this question?

Option C is just nonsense. You can't edit the erex-generated regex and use it with the same erex command.

I agree with Freida. The erex command helps generate the regex, which can then be fine-tuned and used with the rex command for field extraction.
