Correct answer: strong data integrity only.

- Strong data integrity — Yes. SQL/RDBMS provide ACID transactions, constraints, and referential integrity.
- Limitless indexing — No. Indexes improve performance but incur storage and write overhead and practical limits.
- Works well with distributed data — Generally no. Traditional SQL systems are designed for centralized deployments; distributed setups need special architectures.
- Horizontal scaling — Generally no. Relational DBs typically scale vertically; horizontal scaling (sharding/distributed SQL) is possible but complex and not an inherent SQL benefit (though some modern distributed SQL systems do provide it).
