The operator that compares sounds is . . . . . . . .

Answer: Option C

This question asks about how MySQL compares sounds.
Imagine you have a database with names, and you want to find all names that sound similar to "John".
We need a special operator for this.
Let's look at the options:
* Option A: MATCH SOUNDS - This doesn't exist in MySQL. * Option B: CHECK SOUNDS - This doesn't exist in MySQL. * Option C: SOUNDS LIKE - This is the correct answer! It lets you compare sounds. * Option D: SOUNDS SIMILAR - This doesn't exist in MySQL. So, the answer is Option C: SOUNDS LIKE.
