A) is the way to go. Unless, of course, you're a time traveler and want to save the future date. Then D) might work.

D) date > $actdat? What is this, a redirection? I'm not falling for that trick!

I'm not sure, but I think D) date > $actdat could also work if we want to redirect the output of the date command to the variable actdat.
