I think C is right, the variable bytes matter.

Definitely B, the null vector is crucial!

I’m leaning towards option B, but I’m confused about whether the record header is always part of the overhead calculation.

I feel like I saw something about 32 bytes being a standard for ROWID and transaction IDs, but I can't recall if the null vector adds more.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the null vector is only included if there are nullable columns. So maybe it's option C?

I think the overhead includes the ROWID and the transaction IDs, but I’m not sure if the null vector is always counted.
