You are creating a build for a production environment and realize that some of the devDependencies are being included in the build, causing it to be bulkier. What steps would you take to rectify this?

To rectify this issue, you should use the npm prune --production command. This command removes unnecessary devDependencies from your node_modules directory, ensuring that only production dependencies are included in the build. Options (1) and (4) are not recommended because manually removing or upgrading devDependencies can be error-prone. Option (2) doesn't directly address the issue, and Webpack is typically used for bundling rather than dependency management.
