A,C Correct answer
Explanation

OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) environments are characterized by write-intensive operations as users constantly insert, update, and delete data. Transactions typically complete within seconds because users expect immediate feedback for business operations. OLTP processes small row sets per transaction (individual customer orders, account updates), not large batches like analytical systems.
