A Correct answer
Explanation

Triggers are dependent objects on the table they are created for. When a table is dropped, all associated triggers are automatically dropped as well because they cannot exist without the table. This is standard database behavior across most RDBMS platforms.

AI explanation

A trigger is a dependent database object defined on a specific table, so it only exists in relation to that table's structure. When the table is dropped, the database automatically drops any triggers (and other dependent objects like indexes tied to it) rather than leaving orphaned triggers pointing at a table that no longer exists.
