    Before we just give you the answer, which one will you think is correct?

    Your book may not give the exact answer as they like to give information and have you figure it out logically.

    Those are some weird answers, but sorry, it is not "e".

    One is not weird.

    If the book that this course is based on does not have the answer, even subtly, then it should be discarded.
