Which two statements are true about Oracle network connections?
The correct answer is B. A server process checks a user's authentication credentials and creates a session if the D. The listener always spawns a new server process to deal with each new connection. In Oracle networking, the server process handles credential authentication after the listener hands off the connection, and in dedicated server mode the listener spawns a new server process per connection.

Why each option
In Oracle networking, the server process handles credential authentication after the listener hands off the connection, and in dedicated server mode the listener spawns a new server process per connection.
A single Oracle listener can register and listen on behalf of multiple database instances simultaneously through static listener.ora configuration or dynamic service registration via LREG.
After the Oracle listener accepts an incoming client connection and performs the initial redirect, the dedicated server process is responsible for verifying the user's authentication credentials and establishing the database session on behalf of that client.
The listener's responsibility ends once it hands off the client connection to the server process; it does not continuously monitor or maintain the connection after the initial handoff is complete.
In the default dedicated server mode, the Oracle listener spawns a new dedicated server process for each incoming client connection request, providing each session with its own dedicated server-side process.
The listener receives connection requests on its preconfigured port (default 1521), which is defined server-side; the client must connect to that port - the client does not unilaterally determine which port the listener monitors.
