What is an advantage of using range partitioned tables?
Range partitioned tables can significantly improve query performance by enabling partition elimination. This allows the database to scan only the relevant partitions instead of the entire table when executing queries, thus reducing the amount of data scanned and improving efficiency.

The answer B is correct. The answer C applies only on the MDC Table (Multi-Dimensional Clustering). Block Indexes are created with one or several table's dimensions and will reference several data blocks (block=extents) of the table. Each block will group data by dimension. The answer D applies only on the RCT Table (Range Clustered Table). Indeed, its RID is computed by a key sequence (with one or several table's columns), the RCT table is clustered by default.
