The feature shown in the middle image is known as Query By Example (QBE), which is a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to retrieve data by using an example (or template) of the desired data. The other options, (A) QBA and (B) SQL, are not GUI features for data retrieval, but rather tools or query languages for manipulating data within a DBMS.
