Selected Answer: D
Correct is D. In B option, there is missing apostrophe ' after --. This is exacly like example from PortSwigger (link below): Original query: SELECT * FROM products WHERE category = ' ' AND released = 1 ...leads to this when you instert Gifts' OR 1=1-- (note the original apostrophe after the -- in the result): SELECT * FROM products WHERE category = 'Gifts' OR 1=1--' AND released = 1 ...the apostrophe from inserted string Gifts' OR 1=1-- was in the resulting query paired with the leading original apostrophe and originaly enclosing aspostrophe pair still exist after our inserted string - at the and of 'Gifts' OR 1=1--' https://portswigger.net/web-security/sql-injection

Selected Answer: B
B. select * from Users where UserName = ‘attack’ or 1=1 -- and UserPassword = ‘123456’. attack' or 1=1 -- is a classic SQL injection attempt. Let's break it down: attack' - Closes the existing UserName string. or 1=1 - Always evaluates to true, bypassing authentication. -- This is a SQL comment that ignores everything after it (including the password check). Now, inserting this into a vulnerable SQL query: SELECT * FROM Users WHERE UserName = 'attack' or 1=1 --' AND UserPassword = '123456' After the -- comment truncates the rest of the query, it effectively becomes: SELECT * FROM Users WHERE UserName = 'attack' OR 1=1; Since 1=1 is always true, this query returns all users, allowing unauthorized access.

Actually you described D bud claiming that B is correct. What you describe is D - and D is correct: As you wrote: "Now, inserting this into a vulnerable SQL query:" SELECT * FROM Users WHERE UserName = 'attack' or 1=1 --' AND UserPassword = '123456' The ' after -- comment (--') is missing in B. You put it correctly there and end up with D option. Original statement in SQL is ...WHERE UserName='some-string-as-user-name' - and the closing ' at the end will not disappear as in option B, it will stay there as you correctly derived - it's option D.

Selected Answer: B
Option A: Incorrect due to an extra or misplaced quotation mark (‘attack’ ’). Option B: Correct SQL syntax. The condition OR 1=1 makes the WHERE clause always true, and -- starts a comment, ignoring everything after it. Option C: Incorrect because the string 'attack or 1=1 -- is not properly enclosed in quotes. Option D: Incorrect due to --’, which incorrectly uses both the comment symbol and a quotation mark.
