CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 373

Which of the following data states applies to data that is being actively processed by a database server?

Answer options

• A. In use
• B. At rest
• C. In transit
• D. Being hashed

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'In use' because it specifically refers to data that is actively being processed by the database server. 'At rest' refers to data that is stored and not being processed, 'In transit' is related to data moving between locations, and 'Being hashed' pertains to a specific operation on data, not its state.
