A valid SELECT statement in SQL follows this basic syntax:
sql
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
The correct option D follows this syntax correctly.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
Option A (Incorrect): SQL does not use double quotes (') around column/table names unless explicitly required in some databases.
Option B (Incorrect): The WHERE clause must appear after the FROM clause.
Option C (Incorrect): ALL is not a valid keyword in standard SQL queries.
Thus, Option D follows the correct SQL syntax.

Option C seems off to me because I don’t recall seeing "ALL" used that way in SELECT statements.

I’m a bit confused about option A; I feel like using quotes around column names is not standard unless they have spaces.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think the correct format should always start with SELECT followed by the columns.

I think option D looks correct, but I’m not entirely sure about the syntax for the others.
