AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand what a stored procedure is and its characteristics.

A stored procedure is a set of SQL statements that are stored in the database and can be executed repeatedly. It is typically used to perform a specific task or a series of tasks.

A stored procedure can have zero or more arguments. Arguments are parameters that are passed to the stored procedure when it is called. These arguments can be used within the stored procedure to perform various operations.

Based on this understanding, we can determine that the statement "A stored procedure must have at least one argument" is incorrect.

Option A) True - This option is incorrect because a stored procedure can have zero or more arguments.

Option B) False - This option is correct because a stored procedure can have zero or more arguments.

The correct answer is B) False.
