That makes sense. So the answer is likely D) Database Writer process (DBW) because it specifically deals with writing to data files.

DBW writes dirty buffers to data files during normal operations, while SMON performs recovery and maintenance tasks. That's the distinction.

I'm torn between C) System Monitor process (SMON) and D) Database Writer process (DBW). Can someone explain further?

I disagree, I believe it's D) Database Writer process (DBW). It specifically handles writing database buffers to data files.

I think the answer is C) System Monitor process (SMON). It makes sense because it manages the entire database.

I'm not sure, but I think E) Log Writer process (LGWR) also writes data to data files.
