  1. I agree that correct answer is B.

    Confirmed by executing following code
    in OE demo schema.

    set serveroutput on;
    declare
    v_order_id orders.order_id%type;
    v_order_total CONSTANT orders.order_total%type:=1000;
    v_all_order_total v_order_total%type;
    BEGIN
    v_order_id:=NULL;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘Order Total is ‘||v_order_total);
    END;
    /

    ERROR at line 4:
    ORA-06550: line 4, column 19:
    PLS-00206: %TYPE must be applied to a variable, column, field or attribute, not
    to “V_ORDER_TOTAL”
    ORA-06550: line 4, column 19:
    PL/SQL: Item ignored

    Code without CONSTANT keyword works fine.

    set serveroutput on;
    declare
    v_order_id orders.order_id%type;
    v_order_total orders.order_total%type:=1000;
    v_all_order_total v_order_total%type;
    BEGIN
    v_order_id:=NULL;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘Order Total is ‘||v_order_total);
    END;
    /

    Order Total is 1000

    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
