I attended the actual exam last week, and a very similar question to this came up, I highlight the difference:

‘You need to ensure that all Person entities are loaded, _but their associated EmailAddresses are NOT loaded_. Which code segement should you use?’

The answer B and C were definately these ones, but A and D were a bit different, I do not remember for those.

I recommend to think about the correct answer for this question too.

In that case the answer would be C. ‘Except’ instead of ‘Include’, but still ‘EmailAdresses’.
