    I think that Microsoft is the sole authority on what B-Tree means in their systems...

    Agreed. But the question was too generically stated. It could be read as simply "What does the B in B-tree stand for?". The SQL example can be taken as just that; an example...

    If the question had stated something like "When describing an SQL index as a B-tree, what does the B in B-tree stand for?", then the question is less ambiguous, and probably will make you think twice before you answer.
