• Ok, so CLR isn't a PURE DML trigger. But it CAN be a DML trigger.

    I've checked and rechecked, and the word 'pure' doesn't occur in the question.

    It's a very misleading/ambiguous Q. So as the answer I wanted wasn't there (the 3 as in BOL), I decided the answer was 1 - a DML trigger is a DML trigger!
