Explanation:
Bind variables placeholders for literal values in a Structured Query Language (SQL) query being sent to the
database on a server. The SQL statement is sent to the server for parsing and the later values are bound to the
placeholders and sent separately to the server. This separate step is the origin of the term ‘bind variable’.

C: A reduction value is not the correct term for a value that can be bound to a placeholder declared within an
SQL statement.
D: A resolution value is not the correct term for a value that can be bound to a placeholder declared within an
SQL statement.
