Which Transact-SQL query should you use?

Your database contains a table named SalesOrders. The table includes a DATETIME column named
OrderTime that stores the date and time each order is placed. There is a non-clustered index on the OrderTime
column. The business team wants a report that displays the total number of orders placed on the current day.
You need to write a query that will return the correct results in the most efficient manner. Which Transact-SQL
query should you use?

A.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SalesOrders
WHERE OrderTime = CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE())

B.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SalesOrders
WHERE OrderTime = GETDATE()

C.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SalesOrders
WHERE CONVERT(VARCHAR, OrderTime, 112) = CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(I, 112))

D.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SalesOrders
WHERE OrderTime >= CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE())
AND OrderTime < DATEADD(DAY, 1, CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()))
