The term "file organization" refers to the way data is stored in a file. It determines how files are stored, accessed, and modified. The structure of the file organization has a significant impact on how different applications can access data in a file. File access (choice B) refers to the process of reading or writing data to or from a file. Sequential access (choice C) is a type of file access where data is accessed in a sequential order, one record after another. And databases (choice D) are structured file systems that are designed to store, manage, and retrieve large amounts of data. While databases also have a certain file organization, it is not the term used to describe it. File organization refers to the way data is stored in a file, such as whether it is stored in a sequential or random order. File access refers to how the file is opened and read or modified. Sequential access is a specific type of file access where data must be read in the order it was stored in the file. A database is a collection of data organized in a specific way, but it is not specific to file storage.
