The correct SQL data type for storing an ordered collection of multiple names is ARRAY.

• ARRAY: Perfect for ordered lists of elements with the same data type, making it ideal for names in a specific order.

Other options are less suitable:

• MAP: Designed for key-value pairs, not simple ordered lists.
• STRUCT: Stores named fields with different data types, more complex than needed.
• VARCHAR: Holds a single string, not multiple values.
