4. Which statement about =DSUM is correct?

A. You can use any range for the criteria argument, as long as it includes at least one column label and at least one cell below the column label for specifying the condition. For example, if the range G1:G2 contains the column label Income in G1 and the amount $10,000 in G2, you could define the range as MatchIncome and use that name as the criteria argument in the database functions. ✓
B. Output is always a dynamic array
C. Requires add-in
D. While the criteria range can be located anywhere on the worksheet, it is best to not place it below the list. This is risky. If you add more information to the list, the new information is added to the first row below the list. If the row below the list is not blank, Microsoft Excel will not add the new information.

Explanation: Correct: You can use any range for the criteria argument, as long as it includes at least one column label and at least one cell below the column label for specifying the condition. For example, if the range G1:G2 contains the column label Income in G1 and the amount $10,000 in G2, you could define the range as MatchIncome and use that name as the criteria argument in the database functions.
