AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) TO_CHAR - This function is used to convert a numeric or date expression to a character string. It cannot operate on any datatype, as it is specifically designed to convert numeric or date expressions.

Option B) TO_DATE - This function is used to convert a character string to a date value. It cannot operate on any datatype, as it is specifically designed to convert character strings to dates.

Option C) MAX - This function is used to return the maximum value from a set of values. It can operate on any datatype, including numeric, character, and date types. This makes it the correct answer to the question.
