Answer "B" is correct. External tables are read-only. You cannot perform data manipulation language (DML) operations on them. However, you can use external tables for query and join operations. You can also create views against external tables.

ALTER is not a DML statement but a DDL. And yes, DDL statements like DROP is allowed. So ALTER is the answer.

Option B is the answer. Kindly read the question "Which Operation can be performed" Join is an operation in database but not alter.

Correct, so DML operations cannot be performed (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). ALTER is DDL. If you read the link you pasted carefully, you will find ALTER EXTERNAL TABLE statement. Answer is D

Alter external table operates on the external table's metadata, not on the data in the external table itself. but queries and joins on the external table is allowed. B
