Consider two tables in a relational database with columns and rows as follows:

 Table: Student

Roll_no Name Dept_id
1 ABC 1
2 DEF 1
3 GHI 2
4 JKL 3

 Table: Department

Dept_id Dept_name
1 A
2 B
3 C

Roll_no is the primary key of the Student table, Dept_id is the primary key of the Department table and Studetn.Dept_id is a foreign key from
Department. Dept_id.

What will happen if we try to execute the following two SQL statements?
(i) update Student set Dept_id = Null where Roll_no =1
(ii) update Department set Dept_id = Null where Dept_id =1
A
Both (i) and (ii) will fail
B
(i) will fail but (ii) will succeed
C
(i) will succeed but (ii) will fail
D
Both (i) and (ii) will succeed
