The correct answer is B, selection, projection, join. Selection is the relational operation that filters rows based on a condition, which maps directly to choosing rows from a table via a WHERE clause. Projection is the operation that returns only specified columns, which is exactly what happens when you name columns in your SELECT list instead of using star. Join is the operation that combines data from two or more tables by matching on a related column, making it the third capability described. These three terms come straight from relational algebra, and the 1Z0-007 exam expects you to know them cold, so put all three on a card with their definitions and quiz yourself until the association is automatic.

Selection filters rows, projection filters columns, join links tables. B.

Selection filters rows, intersection links sets, join ties tables, C locks it.

Orla, the answer is B here, because intersection in relational algebra restricts results to rows that appear in both relations, which is the operation being described. The mnemonic locks onto C but the definition you wrote for intersection already points you to B.
