Wait, is this a trick question? I'm going to go with D) dpkg --r pkgname, because it's the most intuitive option for uninstalling a package without removing the config files.

Haha, good one! I bet the answer is A) dpkg --s pkgname, which stands for 'dpkg --status', because that's clearly not what the question is asking for.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm leaning towards B) dpkg --L pkgname, since that lists the files associated with the package. But I'm not entirely confident.

The question is tricky, but I'm pretty sure C) dpkg --P pkgname is the right choice. That option completely purges the package, including the configuration files.
