B C E are all correct according to Oracle "SET UNUSED Clause" https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/23/sqlrf/ALTER-TABLE.html#GUID-552E7373-BF93-477D-9DA3-B2C9386F2877

when you query the dba_unused_col_tabs view which displays a list of all tables with un-used columns, including counts of the number of columns within a table that are unused but it will not show the names of the unused columns so B is wrong
