MANAGER is an existing role with no privileges or roles.

In Oracle SQL, roles can be granted privileges and other roles, and these privileges can then be passed on to users.

Statement A is correct: GRANT CREATE SEQUENCE TO manager, emp; successfully grants the CREATE SEQUENCE privilege to both the manager and emp roles.

Statement E is correct: GRANT CREATE ANY SESSION, CREATE ANY TABLE TO manager; successfully grants two system privileges to the manager role.

Statements B, C, and D are incorrect for the following reasons:

B is incorrect because the correct syntax to grant object privileges includes separating privileges with commas, not spaces, and the object name should be in singular form (hr.employees).

C is incorrect because you cannot grant a role and a privilege in the same statement.

D is incorrect because the correct syntax for granting object privileges does not include the privilege CREATE TABLE before specifying the object (hr.employees).
