Explanation

Note: The command referenced in the question appears to be missing from the prompt - this is a common formatting issue in exam question exports. Based on Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) keystore behavior, here is the explanation:

Why A is correct: A software keystore can be opened by issuing ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT OPEN KEYSTORE via a remote SQL*Plus or database client session. The command travels over a network connection to the database server, so remote invocation is valid.

Why D is correct: Unlike auto-login keystores (which open automatically on database startup), a software keystore has no self-opening mechanism - a DBA must always manually issue the open command. This is the defining behavioral difference between the two keystore types.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is incorrect because while a local connection is technically possible, it is not the only option (A contradicts the implied exclusivity of B).
• C is the direct opposite of A and is incorrect - remote opening is supported.
• E is the direct opposite of B - local opening is entirely valid.

Memory tip: Think of a software keystore like a combination safe - you can call someone to unlock it from across the room (remote), but a person always has to manually dial it (never automatic). Auto-login keystores are the "key under the mat" - no one has to show up.
