Explanation:
During a query's parse time Oracle 9i flags an index as being used in the V$OBJECT_USAGE view. You can query the V$OBJECT_USAGE view to review the index utilization data. If the index has been used within the period of time it was monitored, the USED column within this view will contain a YES value; it will contain a NO otherwise. Incorrect Answer:
2: During a query's execution time Oracle 9i does not flag an index as being used in the V$OBJECT_USAGE view.
3: Oracle 9i flags an index as being used in the V$OBJECT_USAGE view during a query's parse time, not during any kind of DML statement execution.
4: Oracle 9i flags an index as being used in the V$OBJECT_USAGE view during a query's parse time, not during execution of an INSERT statement.
