Q. The server listens on a network port for TCP/IP connections unless started with the option . . . . . . . .
β
Correct Answer: (B)
NARROW
Explanation: -skip-networking: This option is used to instruct the MySQL server not to listen for TCP/IP network connections. When this option is specified during server startup, the MySQL server does not open the network port for incoming connections, effectively preventing remote clients from connecting via TCP/IP. This option is typically used in scenarios where local access to the MySQL server is sufficient, and there's no need for remote connections.
