Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
In database transaction management, isolation levels define the visibility of changes made by one transaction to others. The standard hierarchy ranges from Read Uncommitted (lowest) to Serializable (highest). Serializable ensures complete isolation by preventing dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, and phantom reads. Therefore, it provides the highest level of isolation among standard transaction levels.
