CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 245

During a data collection exercise, enumerators collected information from households in town A. However, only data from households in town B is needed for the analysis. Which of the following best describes the type of data that was collected?

Answer options

• A. Redundant
• B. Duplicate
• C. Invalid
• D. Missing

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The data collected from town A is considered invalid for the analysis since it does not meet the requirement of focusing solely on town B. The other options do not accurately describe the situation; 'redundant' implies unnecessary repetition, 'duplicate' suggests exact copies, and 'missing' indicates a lack of data, none of which apply here.
