Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
WHERE order_date > '2023-01-01' AND order_date < '2023-12-31'
Why it's wrong here
This excludes the endpoints.
- ✗
WHERE order_date IN ('2023-01-01', '2023-12-31')
Why it's wrong here
IN checks only specific dates, not a range.
- ✗
WHERE order_date >= '2023-01-01' OR order_date <= '2023-12-31'
Why it's wrong here
OR would include all dates, not just the range.
- ✓
WHERE order_date BETWEEN '2023-01-01' AND '2023-12-31'
Why this is correct
BETWEEN is inclusive and concise.
