The correct answer is: A. [ ]
A parameter’s user prompt is surrounded by square brackets ([ ]). This is the standard way to indicate that a value is required for the parameter. For example, the following query would prompt the user to enter a name:
SELECT name FROM users WHERE name = [name];
The user would then be prompted to enter a name, and the query would return the results for that name.
The other options are incorrect. Option B, curly braces ({}), are used to surround a group of values. Option C, double quotes (“), are used to surround a string value. Option D, parentheses (()), are used to surround a function call.
