Question of the Day

RegEx Functions II

I have this data in a table in a SQL Server 2025 database: 

EmailAddressID EmailAddress
7              dylan0@ADVENTURE-WORKS.COM
8              Diane1@ADVENTURE-WORKS.COM
If I run this query, which row(s) are returned? 
SELECT top 10
 *
 FROM person.EmailAddress
 WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(EmailAddress, '^d')
 AND BusinessEntityID IN (7,8)
