Wait, does the --purge action also remove my hopes and dreams? Asking for a friend.

This is a tricky one, but I think Option D is the correct answer. The --remove action only removes the package file, while the --purge action removes all files related to the package.

I'm pretty sure the --purge action also removes any packages that depend on the one being removed. Option C seems more accurate.

Option A seems to be the correct answer. The --remove action removes the program itself, while the --purge action removes the program and its associated configuration files.
