Selected Answer: E
Since this is an external aka unmanaged table, dropping the table only deletes the metadata. The data itself is untouched. This is assuming that "table" is missing from "drop table" due to a transcription error. Now, if the question is written on the test as it is here, then the answer would be B, since the DROP TABLE statement is incorrect and the table would not have been dropped.
