CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 303

Which of the following is an example of structured data?

Answer options

• A. A credit card number
• B. An email
• C. A photo
• D. Social media correspondence

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A credit card number is considered structured data because it follows a specific format and is easily searchable and analyzable. In contrast, an email, a photo, and social media correspondence are examples of unstructured data, as they do not adhere to a predefined format and are more complex to analyze.
