Ooh, I know this one! A is the way to go. It's the classic Unix way of capturing command output. Plus, it's more elegant than E, which just looks lazy.

B is just weird. Why would you use single quotes when you can use backticks? It's like using a rotary phone in the 21st century.

D makes no sense. You can't redirect the output of date to a variable. What is this, amateur hour?

I'm gonna go with E. It's shorter and more straightforward than the other options.
