On first read I would say they are looking for VTP pruning but to be
safe I think I would manually prune the trunks as well... I don't think
you would lose points for manually pruning...
As long as there is an access port configured on the switch then pruning
would handle the situation when no member ports are up and operational
for a particular VLAN by filtering traffic that would normally be
flooded. In the event there is no access port configured for a given
VLAN then clearly leaving the VLAN on the trunk would leave spanning
tree running on the trunk for that VLAN and I suppose that could be
deemed unnecessary traffic... You can drive yourself crazy thinking
about how to interpret statements like this...

Subject: VTP Pruning vs. Allowed Vlan
Task states to filter traffic on the 802.1q trunks so that only
necessary
VLAN traffic is sent over them.
Would enabling vtp pruning do the trick or should I manually edit the
allowed vlan list?
Please don't say ask the proctor - lets assume you already asked the
proctor
what he preferred and he told you to sit down and shut up.
How would you configure it?
