    - The true statement is:

    - The switch operation does not wait for transactions in the old undo tablespace to commit.

    - If there are any pending transactions in the old undo tablespace, the old undo tablespace enters into a PENDING OFFLINE mode (status).

    - In this mode, existing transactions can continue to execute, but undo records for new user transactions cannot be stored in this undo tablespace.
