A Correct answer
Explanation

The DROP TABLESPACE ... INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES command removes the tablespace contents and deletes all associated data files from the operating system. This works regardless of whether files are Oracle Managed Files or manually managed. Options B and C incorrectly state that OMF is required. Option D incorrectly suggests that OMF-named files are excluded - they are deleted along with all other files.
