A Correct answer
Explanation

Applications running on the Sun Oracle Database Machine must be certified on Oracle Database 11gR2, as this is the database version that Exadata initially supported and optimized for. Certification on Oracle Database 11 or higher is insufficient without the specific R2 requirement. Middleware certification does not substitute for application certification, and certification does matter for Exadata deployments.
