Ctrl + Del deletes the word from the cursor position to the end of the word (to the right). It removes text from where your cursor is positioned forward to the next space or punctuation. Option A and D are incorrect because deleting to the left of the cursor is done with Ctrl + Backspace. Option C uses plural 'words' but this shortcut only deletes one word at a time. The key distinction is that Del removes forward while Backspace removes backward.
