The activities required to generate an SQL query that returns a correct answer in the least amount of time, using a minimum amount of resources at the server end, are commonly referred to as SQL performance tuning. Tuning the client SQL or the database SQL alone may not necessarily result in optimized performance, as performance is dependent on various factors such as server resources, query complexity, and data volume. DBMS performance tuning is a broader term that encompasses tuning not just SQL queries, but also the overall performance of the database management system. Therefore, C is the best choice.
