It is E.
B would remove a directory of the name \dir since the first \ is to escape the following \
Test it by creating the directory \\dir. In order to create that directory, you would need to type mkdir ~/\\\\dir. The first \ would escape the second \ and the 3rd \ would escape the 4th \ thus creating \\dir
So in order to remove it you would do the same.
rmdir ~/\\\\dir where the first \ would escape the second \ and the 3rd \ would escape the 4th \

No, the correct answer is E, as the backslask “\” escapes itself. You need 4 \ to get the path \\dir

Answer E is correct!
To create a directory named \\dir the command mkdir \\\\dir is required.
With the command rmdir \\\\dir the directory is deleted.
If a \ is used in the name of a directory, every \ with a preceding \ must be used.
