Bash Scripting - Error Handling

Consider this script with set -e enabled:

#!/bin/bash
set -e
echo "Start"
false
echo "End"

What will be the output when this script runs?

AStart End

BNo output

CEnd

DStart

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze script commands with set -e
The script prints "Start", then runs false which returns a non-zero exit status causing the script to exit immediately.
Step 2: Determine which commands run
Because of set -e, the script stops after false, so "End" is never printed.
Final Answer:
Start -> Option D
Quick Check:
set -e stops script on error, so only "Start" prints [OK]

Quick Trick: Script stops at first error, so later lines don't run [OK]
