I feel like I saw a question like this before, and I think it was about using '>' to overwrite, so maybe E is right.

I keep mixing up the symbols; I thought '>>' was for appending, but I can't recall what '>' does exactly.

I think the command to overwrite a file is the one with a single greater-than sign, but I'm not completely sure.

I remember practicing with similar questions, and I think option E is the correct one for redirecting output to a file.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I need to make sure I understand the difference between a virtual server and a ready-made environment.
