C Correct answer
Explanation

V$PARAMETER displays all parameter values currently in effect for the running instance, including both dynamic changes (ALTER SESSION/SYSTEM) and static parameters. This is different from V$PARAMETER2 (splits list values) or V$SYSTEM_PARAMETER (shows instance-level values). It shows actual effective values, not just defaults or basic/advanced classifications.
