I'm going to have to go with Option A. It's the only one that properly uses the '?' to make the extension optional. Gotta love those non-greedy quantifiers!

Option D? Really? That's missing the file extension entirely. Might as well just search for 'xls', 'ppt', and 'doc' and hope for the best.

Option D is incorrect. It's missing the file extension at the end.

Hmm, Option B is a bit too broad for my liking. I'd rather have something a bit more specific to just the file extension.

I would go with Option C, it looks for the file extension at the end of the file name.

I agree, Option B seems too general and could potentially return false positives.

I'm going with Option C. The $ at the end ensures we're only matching the file extension, not just any part of the filename.

I see your point, but I still believe Option C is the best option. The $ at the end ensures we're only matching the file extension.

Option A looks good to me. It's a pretty comprehensive regex that should catch all those macro-enabled files.
