Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The language used by programmers to add, delete or modify data in a database is known as a Data Manipulation Language. Examples of DML include SQL, Oracle's PL/SQL, and Microsoft's T-SQL. The primary function of DML is to retrieve, insert, delete, and update data in a database. Therefore, option B is the best choice. Options A, C, and D are also SQL languages, but they are not specifically used to manipulate data within a database.
