Answer / honnur swamy
A clustered index sorts and stores the data rows in the
table based on the index key values. Therefore only one
clustered index can be created on each table because the
data rows themselves can only be sorted in one order.

Clustered Index creation does not depend upon primary key ,
it can be created on any column, but the write answer is
whenever we create clustered index on a table it physically
