  1. A is correct. NLS_DATE_FORMAT is a static parameter, and the instance must be restarted to apply the change stored in SPFILE.
  2. B is correct. NLS_TERRITORY references the first day of the week, whether it is a Sunday or a Monday.
  3. B is correct. NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE can be defined by the third parameter of the TO_CHAR function.
  4. D is correct. For the system (database), the NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS data dictionary should be referenced. Session-level values can be obtained by the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS data dictionary. The other definitions (options B and C) are not valid data dictionary structures.
