Answer is A:
For source and target structures to be identical, they must:
● be of the same database type, i.e. all Oracle.
● have the same character set and locale.
● contain the same number of columns.
● have identical column names (including case, white spaces, and quotes if applicable).
● have identical data types.
● have identical column lengths.
● have the same column length semantics for character columns (bytes versus
characters).
● define all of the columns in the same order.
