Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Correct answer: More than one of the above

In DBMS/SQL MCQ terminology, more than one listed method can be used to combine data from related tables. Natural JOIN is a direct join operation, and subqueries can also be used to retrieve related table data. Some source classifications also include Union JOIN under table-combination approaches.

  • Natural JOIN: directly combines tables using common attribute names.

  • Subqueries: can be used as an alternate way to combine or filter data using another table.

  • Therefore: more than one listed approach applies, so the single Natural JOIN key was too narrow.

Final answer: More than one of the above.
