3.What are MU plugins? Why they are used? Please describe it in brief
 A must-use plugin (also called a ‘mu-plugin’) is a plugin that will always be activated by
default.
 mu-plugins were only available for WPMU.

 Moreover, a mu-plugin can’t be deactivated in the Plugins page of your WordPress


dashboard:
 the only way to deactivate a mu-plugin is by deleting or moving its file.
 That way, no one can accidentally deactivate a needed feature.

 A mu-plugin is similar to a classic plugin, except that it is not stored in the plugins
directory of the wp-content folder,
 but rather in the mu-plugins directory, of the same folder. If you have never used mu-
plugins before,
 this directory should not exist, but you can create it without any problem.

<?php

function my_option_code() {

$option_val = $wpdp->get_var($query);

$wpdb->execute();
