If you delete a shortcut from your desktop, have you also deleted the original file?

A) No, because a shortcut is a setting used to adjust the display, sounds, power battery, and storage.
B) No, because a shortcut is just an organizing icon for apps and files.
C) No, because a shortcut does not place the actual file, folder, or app on the desktop.
D) Yes, because a shortcut is linked to the actual file, folder, or app on the desktop.
