Explanation:

The said query in SQL that selects all columns and rows from the 'employees' table where the "hire_date" column falls between the dates '1991-01-01' and '1991-12-31'. This would return a list of all employees who were hired in the year 1991.

The WHERE clause include all of those employees hired during the time '1991-01-01' and '1991-12-31'.

The "BETWEEN" operator is inclusive, so employees hired on December 31st, 1991 would be included in the results.
