Question of the Day

RegEx Functions IV

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

EmailAddressID EmailAddress
7              [email protected]
8              [email protected]
If I run this query, which row(s) are returned? 
SELECT top 10
 *
 FROM person.EmailAddress
 WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(EmailAddress, '^D', 'i')
 AND BusinessEntityID IN (7,8)
