How can you modify this advanced function to confirm before making changes?

function Remove-ItemSafe {
  [CmdletBinding()]
  param(
    [string]$Path
  )
  Remove-Item -Path $Path
}

AAdd <code>ValueFromPipeline=$true</code> to the Path parameter only

BAdd <code>Mandatory=$true</code> to the Path parameter

C

Add <code>SupportsShouldProcess=$true</code> to CmdletBinding and use <code>if ($PSCmdlet.ShouldProcess($Path))</code> before Remove-Item

DUse <code>Write-Verbose</code> to confirm before Remove-Item

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Enable ShouldProcess support
Add SupportsShouldProcess=$true in CmdletBinding to enable -WhatIf and -Confirm support.
Step 2: Use ShouldProcess method
Wrap Remove-Item call inside if ($PSCmdlet.ShouldProcess($Path)) to confirm action before execution.
Step 3: Evaluate other options
Add Mandatory=$true to the Path parameter adds mandatory but no confirmation. Add ValueFromPipeline=$true to the Path parameter only adds pipeline input but no confirmation. Use Write-Verbose to confirm before Remove-Item only writes verbose message, no confirmation.
Final Answer:
Add SupportsShouldProcess=$true and use ShouldProcess check -> Option C
Quick Check:
SupportsShouldProcess + ShouldProcess method = confirmation support [OK]

Quick Trick: Use SupportsShouldProcess and ShouldProcess for confirmations [OK]
