When a field is inherited, it typically means that the field exists on a parent table and is accessible in the child table.

The correct answer indicates that the value in the table column differs from the table name. Inheritance allows child tables to use fields from their parent tables; consequently, these fields can have values that aren’t constrained by the table name. For example, if a child table includes a field inherited from a parent table, the content of that field may often reflect a different context or data specific to the child table rather than being related to the parent table's name or structure.

This characteristic signifies that the field originates from a parent table and has been effectively utilized in the context of the child table. Therefore, observing a value in the field that does not correspond to the table name can serve as an indicator of inheritance.

The other options do not accurately reflect the method of identifying field inheritance. A field name that matches the parent table name does not definitively indicate inheritance; it merely signifies a naming similarity. The read-only status of a field could be due
