View Answer

Answer: D

Explanation:

To delete a file from a Git repository, the administrator can use the command git rm app.conf (D). This will remove the file “app.conf” from the working directory and stage it for deletion from the repository. The administrator can then commit the change with git commit -m "Delete app.conf" to finalize the deletion. The other commands will not delete the file, but either tag, commit, or checkout the file.
