Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
FLASHBACK DATABASE TO TIME '2023-10-10:10:00:00'
Why it's wrong here

RECOVER DATABASE TO '2023-10-10:10:00:00'

The recover command uses the set until clause before the recover command.
