The correct answer is A. A parameter query.
A parameter query is a query that prompts the user for input before running the query. This input can be used to filter the results of the query, or to specify which records should be updated or deleted.
A crosstab query is a type of query that summarizes data into a table. The table will have one row for each unique value in a specified field, and one column for each unique value in another specified field. The cells in the table will contain the total of the values in the specified field for each combination of values in the other field.
An update query is a type of query that changes data in a table. The query can be used to update one or more records, or to update all records in the table.
An action query is a type of query that performs an action on data in a table. The action can be to insert, update, or delete records.
In this case, the query prompts the user for a date. The query will then display only records that contain the specified date. This is a parameter query because it prompts the user for input before running the query.
