Single answer, multiple choice

Which interactive command is used to terminate a Data Pump job so it cannot be restarted again?

1. STOP_JOB.
2. KILL_JOB.
3. TERMINATE_JOB.
4. You cannot stop a Data Pump job.

Answer:
B. KILL_JOB

Tutorial:
The KILL_JOB interactive command is used to terminate a Data Pump job so it cannot be restarted later.

The STOP_JOB interactive command can be used to stop a Data Pump job. The stopped job can be restarted later.

The TERMINATE_JOB interactive command is an invalid interactive command. This command does not exist in Oracle.

The option stating you cannot stop a Data Pump job is incorrect. A Data Pump job can be stopped using the STOP_JOB and KILL_JOB interactive commands.
