A.
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT AS OF

B.
SELECT AS OF

C.
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT

D.
INSERT INTO (SELECT )

Explanation:
You perform a Flashback Query by using a SELECT statement with an AS OF clause. You use a
Flashback Query to retrieve data as it existed at
some time in the past. The query explicitly references a past time by means of a timestamp or SCN.
It returns committed data that was current
at that point in time. To use the results of a Flashback Query in a DDL or DML statement that affects
the current state of the database, use an
AS OF clause inside the INSERT or CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statement.
Answer C is incorrect. The CREATE TABLE AS SELECT command is used to create a table with data
and structure copied from another
table. Since there is no use of the AS OF clause in this statement, this command is not a Flashback
Query command; instead it’s the normal
CREATE TABLE command.
Answer D is incorrect. INSERT INTO (SELECT ) is not a Flashback Query because the AS OF clause is
not used in this command. This
command will select data from a table and insert into another table on which the INSERT INTO
clause is based. Flashback Query does support
insert commands, but the correct usage is INSERT INTO (SELECT AS OF).

Oracle Database has a group of features, known collectively as flashback, that provide ways to view past states of database objects, or to return database objects to a previous state, without using traditional point-in-time recovery.

Flashback features of the database can be used to:

Perform queries that return past data.
Perform queries that return metadata showing a detailed history of changes to the database.
Recover tables or individual rows to a previous point in time.
