Which is ?

I guess E, but I'm not sure since the doc doesn't say if the inner regex is read before or after the next 1st level one. I understand that all first level are evaluated to see if one branch need to be explored deeper, but it's not so obvious.

Anyway, this example is more a school case, it should be avoid in real life, so answer is not so important. If I need to answer such a question then I'm probably in the wrong way.
