I'm going with Option C. 'now' is such a natural way to express the current time, it's gotta be the right choice.

Ah, the classic 'new DateTime()' is always a safe bet. No need to get fancy, just let PHP do the work for you.

I was thinking Option B might work, but then I realized it's just using the timestamp as a string. Gotta be careful with those tricks!

Option D looks like the right answer. Using `time()` directly doesn't create a DateTime object, it just gives you the current timestamp.

I believe options A, B, and C are correct because they all provide valid ways to instantiate a DateTime object with the current timestamp.

I agree with Quiana. Option D is incorrect because the DateTime constructor expects a string, not an integer like time().
