B and E are correct. B. git diff topic...master - This command compares the changes between the common ancestor of the two branches (usually where they diverged) and the tip of each branch. E. git diff topic master - This command compares the changes between the tips of the two branches directly.

Selected Answer: CE

git diff [<options>] [--merge-base] <commit> [--] [<path>…] This form is to view the changes you have in your working tree relative to the named <commit>. You can use HEAD to compare it with the latest commit, or a branch name to compare with the tip of a different branch.

HEAD refers to the current branch’s latest commit, so this would compare topic with itself or an unrelated commit.
