B Correct answer
Explanation

SQL keywords cannot be abbreviated - they must be written in full (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, etc.). This is what makes statement B incorrect, and since the question asks which statement is 'not correct', B is the right choice. SQL statements are indeed case-insensitive unless the database is configured otherwise, can span multiple lines, and keywords cannot be split across lines.
