Because the question says that the user needs to install a package, and with "-i" you will install the package and with the "-v" you will see the verbose of the installation and right there the admin can check if the requirments are met

"One of the application requirements is to install Perl on a system" that mean the installation have not happen yet, so: Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) -U upgrade -i install the packaged -v verbose mode -q query -e erase -h hash mark rmp -iv pearl -- install pear with verbose mode enable is B malord~

You missed the first part of the question, "Linux administrator needs to determine if prerequisites are met". There is no point in installing perl if it's already there. rpm -iv perl is not valid syntax, needs RPM file (e.g., perl-5.32.rpm), not just the name. rpm -qa perl is valid and will check if it's already installed. C is correct.
