If a symbolic link is created to a file and then the original file is deleted, what happens?

Both the original file and the symbolic link are removed.

The original file will be removed while the symbolic link remains usable to access the contents of the file.

The original file will be removed while the symbolic link remains, though the file's content is no longer reachable $($broken link$).$

An error message will be displayed preventing the deletion of the original file.
