Correct answer: C

Answer: INSERT is used to add single or multiple tuples to a relation and to insert values into specific attributes; it is not used to create new tables.

Explanation:

  • Add a single tuple — INSERT supports inserting one row using a VALUES clause that provides the values for that tuple.

  • Add multiple tuples — many SQL dialects allow multiple value lists in one INSERT statement to insert several rows at once.

  • Insert into specific attributes — you can list target columns in the INSERT clause so values are placed into specific attributes.

  • Create new tables is not an INSERT operation — use CREATE TABLE to define a new table.

Therefore, the correct description is that INSERT is used to add single tuples, add multiple tuples, and insert values into specific attributes; it does not create new tables.
