C Correct answer
Explanation

Oracle SQL has ROUND, TRUNC, and INITCAP as built-in functions for numeric rounding, truncation, and string capitalization respectively. 'MAXIMUM' is NOT a valid Oracle function - the correct aggregate function is MAX (not MAXIMUM). This is a common trick question testing knowledge of exact function names.
