I got this! Option A is the way to go. Redirecting the error output to /dev/null is the classic move.

I'm not sure, but I think A) makes more sense because it redirects error output to null.

D is the way to go. It sends the normal output to the file and the error output to the same place as the normal output.

Option A seems like the right choice. It sends the error output to /dev/null while writing the normal output to the file.
