I bet the exam writer is having a field day watching us debate this. They're probably sitting back, sipping their coffee, and thinking, 'Yep, that's exactly the reaction I was going for.'

Ah, the age-old dilemma of choosing the right find command option. I'm feeling a bit 'maxdepthly' about this one.

Wait, is -s for 'search' or 'shallow'? I can never remember which one it is. Maybe I should just stick with -maxdepth to be safe.

C'mon, -maxdepth is the classic choice here. I use that all the time when I don't want to dig too deep into the file system.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be A) --max-dirs because it mentions limiting the number of directories.
