I'm leaning towards D because it seems like both B and C would work for the schema backup, but I can't recall the exact details.

I feel like I might be mixing up the options, but I think -s is for something else, maybe just for structure?

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think both -n and --schema do the same thing for schema backups.

I'm leaning towards B, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll need to think this through carefully and review the pg_dump options before making my final decision.

I'm pretty confident that C is the right answer here. The question is specifically asking about backing up a schema, so the --schema option seems like the way to go.

Option D looks good to me. Using both the -n and --schema flags should give me the flexibility to target just the edbuser schema.

I think the option for backing up a specific schema is related to the -n flag, but I'm not entirely sure if it's just that one.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I'm not sure if I should use -n or --schema. I'll need to double-check the pg_dump documentation to make sure I get this right.
