Which of the following is NOT an apt-get switch?

update
upgrade
delete
remove

The correct answer is: delete

The apt-get command is a powerful tool for installing, updating, and removing software packages on Debian-based systems. The update and upgrade options are both used for updating the list of available packages and upgrading installed packages to the latest versions, respectively. The remove and delete options are both used for uninstalling packages, so these are similar in functionality. However, the delete option is not a valid apt-get switch, making it the correct answer for this question.
