7. Table EMP has 17,394,430 rows in it. You issue a delete from emp statement, followed by a commit. Then, you issue a select count(*) to find out how many rows there are in the table.

A. nvl() returns the second value passed if the first values is null. B. nvl() handles values of many different datatypes. C. nvl() return NULL if the first value is not equal to the second. D. Both the values passed for nvl() must be the same datatypes.
