Hmm, I'm not so sure. The question mentions a SCROLL CURSOR, so I'm wondering if the cursor position can be reset somehow. Maybe the answer is D?

I think the answer is C. The MOVE FORWARD 2 statement positions the cursor on the third row, and then the FETCH FORWARD ALL statement should return the remaining two rows.

I believe it's A. The FETCH statement will return 0 rows because of an error in the execution.
