c) An application running on a remote client needs to track every modification made to a table that contains sensitive data.

d)An application running on a remote client needs to ensure that every new employee that joins the company is assigned a unique, sequential employee number

**Answer is B:**

**The correct answer is B.** A scalar user-defined function would be the best option for the requirements outlined in answer A; an UPDATE trigger and a DELETE trigger that inserts records into an activity table every time [update and delete](https://srinimf.com/2016/01/25/db2-in-cursor-with-multi-record-fetching/) operations are performed on a table containing sensitive data would be the best way to accomplish the requirements outlined in answer C; and an identity column or sequence could be used to address the requirements shown in answer D.
