SQL is a programming language.
Answer: B
Correct answer: False
SQL is a data sublanguage, not a general-purpose programming language. It has no loops, no branching and no way to build an interface, so it cannot express a complete program on its own and is embedded in a host language that supplies those.
It is also declarative: a query states what data is wanted and leaves the optimiser to decide how to get it, where a programming language specifies the steps. Procedural extensions such as PL/SQL and T-SQL add control flow, but those are dialect additions built on top of SQL rather than SQL itself.
