C Correct answer
Explanation

The rm -r command recursively removes a directory and all its contents, including the 3 files mentioned. Option A's rm without -r fails on non-empty directories with an error, while option D's rmdir only works on empty directories. Option B uses the non-standard 'remove' command.
