A Linux administrator is using the fdisk utility to manage partitions on a disk. After entering the interactive prompt for /dev/sdb, the administrator needs to delete the third partition, /dev/sdb3. Which single-letter command should they use within the fdisk prompt to perform this action?
In the fdisk interactive utility, the d command is used to delete a partition. If there is more than one partition on the disk, fdisk will prompt the user to enter the partition number they wish to delete. The p command prints the partition table, a toggles the bootable flag, and t changes a partition's type ID; none of these are used for deletion.
