Why is the query using a full table scan instead of an index scan?

A.
because the histogram statistics for the COUNTRY_ID column are not updated

B.
because the index statistics for the index on the COUNTRY_ID column are not current

C.
because the DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT initialization parameter is set to a higher value

D.
because the optimizer predicts that most of the blocks in the table are accessed.
Therefore, it uses a full table scan, even though indexes are available.
