A company maintains records of sales made by its salespersons and pays them commission based on each individual’s total sales made in a year. This data is maintained in a table with following schema:

salesinfo = (salespersonid, totalsales, commission)

In a certain year, due to better business results, the company decides to further reward its salespersons by enhancing the commission paid to them as per the following formula:

If commission < = 50000, enhance it by 2%
If 50000 < commission < = 100000, enhance it by 4%
If commission > 100000, enhance it by 6%

The IT staff has written three different SQL scripts to calculate enhancement for each slab, each of these scripts is to run as a separate transaction as follows:

T1: Update salesinfo
 Set commission = commission * 1.02
 Where commission < = 50000;

T2: Update salesinfo
 Set commission = commission * 1.04
 Where commission > 50000 and commission is < = 100000;

T3: Update salesinfo
 Set commission = commission * 1.06
 Where commission > 100000;
Which of the following options of running these transactions will update the commission of all salespersons correctly?
A
Execute T1 followed by T2 followed by T3
B
Execute T2, followed by T3; T1 running concurrently throughout
C
Execute T3 followed by T2; T1 running concurrently throughout
D
Execute T3 followed by T2 followed by T1
