As for why the name itself of the file might be important: a lot of auto builders, specially Docker's itself, refer to this file by its well-known name, "Dockerfile". But again that's more of a standardization issue than a technical one.

To clear jamesps' concern: The name of the file is not a deal breaker, but the extension is. Dockerfile should not have an extension, thus invalidating all the other options but "C".

Why does the file need to be named 'Dockerfile'. I understand that 'Dockerfile' is the correct term for the file, but isn't the name arbitrary? You specify the path to the Dockerfile when you run the 'docker build' command. So it could be anything.
