    I'm sorry, but I just don't understand what is being asked here.

    Just because you're right doesn't mean everybody else is wrong.

    The wording is confusing, but I believe the question is trying to ask:

    "Given that SQL Server creates statistics for a primary key upon its creation, what will be the state of the histogram for the statistics of the primary key column above?"

    1 - The histogram is fully created and populated with the distribution of the data in the table

    2 - The statistics will be created, but without any histogram distribution details

    Just to be sure... the CTE's that generate the sequence in the code are NOT "recursive" CTEs.  They're "cascading" CTE's and there's a huge difference in both performance and resource usage.
