I'm more of a nano guy myself, but D) set -o vi has got to be the way to go if you want to use vi in the bash shell.

I'm not a fan of vi, but set -o vi is the command you need for bash.

I always use vi, so set -o vi is definitely the right choice.

I prefer nano too, but set -o vi is the way to go for vi keystrokes in bash.

Haha, alias emacs=vi? That's like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Nice try, but B) isn't the right answer.

Yeah, B) definitely doesn't make sense. A) or D) seem like better options.

I don't know, E) unset emacs sounds like it might work too. Get rid of that pesky emacs and bring on the vi!

D) set -o vi seems like the obvious choice here. It's the command to set the bash shell to use vi-style key bindings.

That makes sense, it sets the bash shell to use vi-style key bindings.
