C.
With a server connect string (

With a telnet session
The correct answer is D.
Using a telnet session is not a valid way to establish an initial connection to an Oracle database. A telnet session will only establish connections with a server, not the database.

The correct answer is B.
The DBA_DB_LINKS meta-table is used to view database link information. A is incorrect because DBA_TABLES views only table information. C is incorrect because DBA_SYNONYMS is used only to view synonyms. D is incorrect because DBA_2PC_PENDING is used only to view two-phase commit transactions.
