Key word is permanently
B will not work, because the file will go to the Recycle Bin - not permanent
C will not work, because a recover program can still restore the file
D is ridiculous. You can not cancel a file
Only A is permanent. You have to overwrite the space were the file was with a new one
A

Get the free program called "eraser". It overwrites data over the stuff you want to delete. I think using this even the FBI cannot recover the file.
"This program is a handy tool that deletes files permanently. It overwrites a file's space several times over with meaningless data. The result is a deleted file nearly impossible to recover."
