C) CROSS JOIN is the correct answer. It generates the largest amount of data by combining all rows from both tables.

CROSS JOIN sounds right, but I wonder if there are cases where LEFT or RIGHT JOIN could produce a lot of data too.

I practiced a question like this, and I believe INNER JOIN only returns matching records, so it shouldn't generate as much data.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about LEFT and RIGHT JOINS returning all records from one table.

I think the CROSS JOIN might generate the largest amount of data since it combines every row from both tables.

Alright, time to put my SQL knowledge to the test. I think I'll start by considering the cardinality of each JOIN type and go from there.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The CROSS JOIN is the way to go - it combines every row from both tables, so it's gotta be the largest output.
