I believe it should be B) --- cloud-config because the three dashes indicate the start of a new document.

I agree with the # symbol is used to indicate comments in YAML.

No, it should be E) #cloud-config to indicate that it's a cloud-config YAML file.

I believe starting with a comment is the most clear and standard way to begin a YAML configuration for cloud-init

I think those options might work too, but starting with a comment might be more common practice

You make a good point, Joye. I could see that working as well. Cloud-init might be flexible enough to accept either of those.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Option B with the '--- cloud-config' looks like it might be valid too. That's the YAML document separator, right?

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. That's the syntax I've seen used in all the examples and documentation I've come across.

I think option E is the correct answer. '#cloud-config' is the standard way to start a cloud-init configuration file.

Yeah, I agree. It's important to get the first line right, as that sets the tone for the whole configuration.

Hmm, this question seems like it's testing our knowledge of cloud-init configuration syntax. I wonder if they're trying to catch us out with some tricky options.
