Find the total number of customers who are single. Be sure to name each derived field.

-----

so there is a column named "MaritalStatus". However, this question is not asking a query because next question asks me to provide query to check the solution. This question is asking me to name each derived field. What does it mean by derived?

Don't know where you got this kind of questions...

"Field" is not the commonly used term. It is more a column than a "field". A column in a row...

However - if you are doing a count() you will have no column header (i.e. "field name") so give it a name like this example:
select count(*) as cntStatusSingle from customers where MaritalStatus = 'single'
