Solution

The SQL query will return option a. Names of employees along with the names of their departments.

Here's why:

  1. The SELECT statement is used to select data from a database. The data returned is stored in a result table, called the result-set.

  2. "e.name, d.department_name" means that the query will return the name of the employee and the name of the department.

  3. The LEFT JOIN keyword returns all records from the left table (employees), and the matched records from the right table (departments). The result is NULL from the right side, if there is no match.

  4. The ON keyword is used to specify the condition for the JOIN. Here, it's saying that the department_id from the employees table should match the department_id from the departments table.

So, the query is asking for the names of all employees and the names of their respective departments. If an employee is not assigned to a department, it will still return the employee's name, but with NULL as the department name.
