• D. Run the following Windows PowerShell command:$wa = Get-SPWebApplicationhttp://sharepoint.contoso.com$wa.Sites[0].Dispose();

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because it directly addresses the removal of the orphan site by selecting the appropriate web application and database in Central Administration, followed by a PowerShell cmdlet to dismount the content database. Options A, C, and D do not properly resolve the orphan site issue; they involve commands that do not effectively remove the orphan site from the database.
