What will be the ordering of typical steps when processing a high-level query?
A. Query optimizer
B. Runtime database processor
C. Scanning, passing and validating
D. Query code generator
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is B

The typical steps in processing a high-level query are:
C: Scanning, parsing, and validating (initial analysis and syntactic/semantic checks)
A: Query optimizer (optimization of the query plan)
