Given the statements, the failure to execute would be due to improper SQL syntax or logical structuring of the JOIN clause:
A. SELECT * FROM employees e JOIN department d WHERE e.department_id=d.department_id AND d.department_id=90: This statement will fail because it incorrectly uses the JOIN syntax without an ON clause, which is necessary to specify the condition on which the tables are joined. This statement mistakenly places the join condition in the WHERE clause without using ON.
Correct options (executes successfully):
B: Correctly formulated JOIN with ON and an additional condition in the WHERE clause.
C: Incorporates the filtering directly in the ON clause, which is a valid method to restrict the rows returned by the JOIN based on conditions related to both tables.
D: Although it appears awkward due to the order of conditions in the ON clause, it is syntactically correct.
These answers reflect typical use and constraints in SQL queries and are aligned with Oracle Database 12c standards for SQL syntax and operations.
