• B. They can introduce new features.
• C. They are installed via OPatch or OPatchAuto.

• E. They are only released quarterly.
• F. A base release is not needed to install patchsets.

Correct answer: D, E, F

Explanation

The correct answers are D, E, and F because installing a patchset is indeed viewed as an upgrade, they are typically released quarterly, and you do not need a base release to apply them. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as patchsets generally do not introduce new features and are not exclusively applied in a rolling manner for Clusterware and databases.
