E is definitely the answer. The '-s' flag in tr will 'squeeze' consecutive occurrences of the specified character, which is exactly what we need to do here.

I'm torn between B and E, but I think E is the way to go. Reducing consecutive spaces to a single space is what the question is asking for, and the '-s' flag in tr seems like the right tool for the job.

Option E looks like the correct answer to me. The '-s' flag in tr will squeeze consecutive occurrences of the specified character, which is exactly what the question is asking for.
