Surely that is the right answer to the exam question.

In real life though, it is difficult to imagine any 10g scenario where a database is created without a default temporary tablespace (consisting of tempfiles), nor for that matter one where the system tablespace is not locally managed. So IMHO the question is an entirely silly and pointless one (not criticising OP here; criticising Oracle's exams).
