18.
Answer : (d)
Reason:  The equi-join is a join in which records are retrieved based on whether the join fields have matching values in both tables. That may seem like just a definition of a join, but it isn't. An example of a non-equal join is a join where records in the first table are joined to those records in the second table where the joined field in the first table is greater than (instead of equal to) the joined field in the second table (or less than, or anything besides equal to). Naturally, this returns more records than an equi-join.
              A natural join is one in which only one of the two tables’ joined fields is returned. Since these two fields are by definition identical in an equi-join, it is redundant to include both. For a non-equal join, it is important to include both of those fields. So, equi-joins and natural joins go together.
