Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The data about each Japanese fan in Antia's database represents a record, which contains all the attributes and fields describing the fan's price, condition, and pictures. Each record represents a unique instance of a fan in the database. Hence, option D - record - is the correct choice. Option A - entity - is not the best choice as it refers to a conceptual object or thing about which data is stored. Option B - attribute - is a characteristic or property of an entity that describes an aspect of the data. Option C - field - is the smallest unit of data storage in a database table and represents a single data item of an attribute in a record. While attributes and fields are important components of a record, they do not fully represent the data about each Japanese fan in Antia's database.
