Correct Option: D
Explanation:

To solve this question, the user needs to know the basic syntax of SQL queries. The user must evaluate each query to identify the one that contains an error.

Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. SELECT * FROM emp WHERE empid = 493945;

This statement is correct. It selects all columns from the "emp" table where the "empid" column has a value of 493945.

B. SELECT empid FROM emp WHERE empid= 493945;

This statement is correct. It selects the "empid" column from the "emp" table where the "empid" column has a value of 493945.

C. SELECT empid FROM emp;

This statement is correct. It selects the "empid" column from the "emp" table without any filtering conditions.

D. SELECT empid WHERE empid = 56949 AND lastname = ‘SMITH’;

This statement contains an error. It is missing the "FROM" keyword, which is required to specify the table from which the data should be selected. The correct statement would be "SELECT empid FROM emp WHERE empid = 56949 AND lastname = 'SMITH'".

Therefore, the answer is:

The Answer is: D
