I think Shonda is right, rm command is used to remove files, not erase partitions

But using dd with if=/dev/zero will write zeros to the partition, effectively erasing it

Haha, Option A is just asking to get in trouble. Trying to 'rm' a partition device? That's a bold move, cotton!

Option D is the way to go. Unmounting the partition first is the safest approach before erasing anything.

I'd go with Option C. Putting 'of=/dev/zero' first makes it more clear that we're wiping the partition, not the other way around.

Option B looks good to me. The 'dd' command is perfect for erasing a partition.
