Explanation

SQL is divided into several subsets based on purpose. DML (Data Manipulation Language) covers the four core operations for working with data: INSERT (add), DELETE (remove), UPDATE (modify), and SELECT (retrieve). DDL (Data Definition Language) defines and modifies database structures like tables and schemas. DQL (Data Query Language) is sometimes used to refer only to SELECT statements. DSL (Domain-Specific Language) is a general programming term, not an SQL subset. Since the question asks about interacting with the data itself rather than the structure, DML is correct.
