Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The variety dimension of big data refers to a combination of structured data (data that has a pre-defined format such as spreadsheets or databases) and unstructured data (data that does not have a pre-defined format such as social media posts or emails). Hence, option C is the correct answer. A is incorrect because it relates to the organization of data rather than the variety. B refers to different types of data but not structured and unstructured data specifically. D refers to the manipulation and definition of data and is unrelated to the variety dimension.
