I'm not sure, but I think Lorenza is right because redirecting the error output to /dev/null ensures it is discarded.

I'm going to have to disagree with Deja on this one. Option A is the clearest and most reliable approach.

Haha, option B is just hilariously wrong. How would you even do that?

I'm pretty sure option E is the correct answer here. Redirecting stdout to the file and stderr to /dev/null is the way to go.

Yes, it helps keep the file clean and only contains the desired output.

That makes sense, it's important to separate the normal output from the error output.

Option A seems the most straightforward way to redirect both the normal output and error output.

Option A is correct. It redirects the error output to /dev/null while writing the normal output to a file.
