D is the answer, obviously. The 'v' flag is for 'verbose', so you can see what's happening during the uninstall.

I'm going with option A. Seems like the 's' flag is for 'silent' uninstall, which could be useful.

Option E looks right to me. Removing the package entirely seems like the best way to uninstall it.

I'm not sure, but I think it makes sense to keep the configuration files just in case.

Hmm, I think option C is the correct answer. Purging the package while keeping the config files seems like the most logical choice.

I agree with Ettiebye. Keeping the configuration files can be useful if we need to re-install the package later.
