Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is C because online control file backups can only be performed when the database is in ARCHIVELOG mode. This mode is necessary to ensure that all redo logs are archived before the control file backup occurs. Options A, B, and D are not valid database operating modes for this purpose.
