Answer: (B)

SQL language has recently become the defacto standard for interfacing application programs with relational database system.

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standardized programming language used for managing relational databases and performing various operations on the data in them.

A relational database is a digital database based on the relational model of data, as proposed by E. F. Codd in 1970. A relational database is a set of formally described tables from which data can be accessed or reassembled in many different ways without having to reorganize the database tables.
