Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To retrieve information from a database, the SQL command used is 'Select'. This command allows users to query and fetch data from one or more tables based on specified conditions. The 'Display' and 'Show' commands are not standard SQL commands for retrieving data. 'Display' is not recognized in SQL, and 'Show' is used to display database or table structures, not data records. The option 'More than one of the above' is incorrect because only 'Select' is used for retrieving data. 'None of the above' is also incorrect since 'Select' is valid.
