Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B,C Correct answer
Explanation

JDBC stands for Java Database Connectivity, so option B is correct. JDBC is primarily an API for accessing relational databases, but it can also work with tabular data sources like spreadsheets and flat files through the JDBC-ODBC bridge or specific drivers, making option C correct. Option A is incorrect because JDBC is specifically designed for relational and tabular data, not XML or arbitrary object databases. Option D describes ORM tools like Hibernate, not JDBC itself.
