C imo, because you need to explicitly remove Delete permission which only a custom profile can do.

C. Since permission sets can only add permissions and can’t take any away, if the user’s base profile already has Delete rights, a custom profile without Delete is the way to go. Creating a custom profile ensures you can explicitly remove Delete while keeping Read, Create, and Edit intact. Options A and B are definitely out since System Admin has full access and “View all” with highest role doesn’t restrict deletes either. So it really comes down to creating a tailored profile to control delete permissions precisely.

It’s C. You gotta create a custom profile without Delete rights, since standard profiles either have too many permissions or not enough control. This way, deletion is blocked but other actions are allowed.
