Reveal correct answers
Correct answers: B, C, D

Lock contention (A): Queries waiting for row/table locks.
Query execution time (C): Slow SELECT/UPDATE statements.
Connection pool exhaustion (D): Requests queuing for database connections.
CPU spikes (B) and network latency (E) suggest infrastructure issues, not direct database faults.
