ADJ, NEAR, and SAME are all proximity operators that are used to specify that two or more terms must appear within a certain distance of each other in order to be considered a relevant result. Option A (AND, OR, and NOT) are Boolean operators and Option C (AND, SAME, and OR) include one proximity operator but also includes a Boolean operator (OR). Option E (SAME, OR, and NOT) includes one proximity operator but also includes a Boolean operator (OR) and a negation operator (NOT). Therefore, option D is the best choice as it includes only proximity operators.
