a. select * from R, S where R. C = S. C (+); (R left outer join S)

Explanation:

In SQL, left outer join of two tables R and S joined on a common column C means that all rows of R are included in the result including those rows for which value of R. C is null. On the contrary, right outer join of two tables R and S joined on a common column C means that all rows of S are included in the result including those rows for which value of S. C is null. As per the question our requirement is the former. So option a is correct.
