An application uses HTTP 200 responses for successful deletes. Which HTTP status code is more semantically correct when a DELETE request successfully removes a resource and there is nothing to return?

Why D is correct

204 No Content is the appropriate response when a request was successful but there is no body to return. It is the conventional response for successful DELETE operations. 200 OK works but implies a response body. 202 Accepted means the request was received but not yet processed. 410 Gone is for resources that existed but were permanently deleted and should no longer be requested.
