Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Running this command will return the median value of customer credit limit grouped by marital status2.

The MEDIAN function is an aggregate function that returns the middle value of a numeric column for each group or partition.If the number of values is even, it returns the average of the two middle values2.

The GROUP BY clause is used to divide the rows of a table into groups that have the same values in the specified columns.The aggregate functions are applied to each group separately and the result is returned for each group3.
