CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 27

Which of the following is an example of a at flat file?

Answer options

• A. CSV file
• B. PDF file
• C. JSON file
• D. JPEG file

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A CSV file is a classic example of a flat file because it stores data in a simple, plain text format with values separated by commas. In contrast, PDF files, JSON files, and JPEG files have more complex structures, including formatting and metadata, which do not fit the definition of flat files.
