MMS? Really? That's for multimedia messaging, not databases.

I thought JUNIT was a testing framework, not a database protocol.

I’m a bit confused about SMP and MMS. I don’t recall studying those in the context of databases.

JUNIT sounds familiar, but I don't think it's related to databases. It’s more about testing, right?

I remember practicing a question about database connectivity, and ODBC came up as a common protocol.

I feel like I should know this, but I'm drawing a blank. I'll just take a guess and go with A. Hopefully, I can learn from this experience for the next question.

Okay, let me think this through. ODBC is definitely related to databases, so that's a good start. I'm pretty sure it's a protocol, not a testing framework like JUNIT or a media format like MMS. I'll go with A.

ODBC sounds familiar, but I'm not 100% confident. I'll try to eliminate the other options first and see if that helps me narrow it down.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know ODBC has something to do with databases, but I can't remember if it's a protocol. I might need to guess on this.
