I think the keyword here is "down or deleted" is true that if the DLCI is remove the LMI would bring down the PVC, but usually this type of question are asked to make us think on an inter ISP scenarios. So I put my coins on the FREEK option unless some requirement don’t allow it.

Configure all Frame Relay interfaces such that sub interfaces will go down when PVC is down or deleted. The first thing I thought was " Oh I need FREEK", but then I thought about it some more. Isn't this the default behavior? Won't the sub interface go down if the DLCI specified in frame-relay interface-dlci is removed? I thought that was the purpose of LMI. I don't have control of the terminal server so I can't test removing the DLCI, but if I configure my frame-relay interface-dlci command with a non existent DLCI the link never comes up. The solution guide shows the use of FREEK, but it seems to me that it really isn't necessary. If I am right that would mean that FREEK would really only be necessary if LMI was disabled (back to back frame), or if you want to make your local interface go down if the remote interface goes down.
