The % sign is a wildcard that can represent any number of characters, so %03 will find any dates that have 03 in them, regardless of what other digits surround it. The * sign is also a wildcard, but it represents a single character. The _ symbol also represents a single character, so _03% would find any dates that have 03 in them with a single character before it. Therefore, only option C, %03, would find dates occurring only in the year 2003.
