Answer explanation

The CREATE TABLE command is used to create a new table in SQL. The parameters in the parentheses define the columns of the table and their data types. The SELECT command is used to retrieve data from a database, not to create a table. The UPDATE command in SQL is used to modify the data in an existing database table, not to create a new table. The DROP TABLE command is used to completely remove a table from a database, not to create a new one.
