I think option B looks familiar because it uses the ellipsis, which might help capture all the nested directories.

I’m leaning towards option A, but I’m not confident it captures everything since it might miss files in nested folders.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like the option with the ellipsis is usually the right choice for deeper directory structures.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the asterisk being less specific than the ellipsis. Could that affect the results?
