b-Schema = (b-name, b-city, assets)
a-Schema = (a-num, b-name, bal)
d-Schema = (c-name, a-number)

Let branch, account and depositor be respectively instances of the above schemas. Assume that account and depositor relations are much bigger than the branch relation.

Consider the following query:
Пc-nameb-city = “Agra” ⋀ bal < 0 (branch $$ \Join $$ (account $$ \Join $$ depositor))

Which one of the following queries is the most efficient version of the above query ?

A
Пc-namebal < 0b-city = “Agra” branch $$ \Join $$ account) $$ \Join $$ depositor)
B
Пc-nameb-city = “Agra”branch $$ \Join $$ (σbal < 0 account $$ \Join $$ depositor))
C
