Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Options A and B are correct because data validation is designed to maintain data integrity and prevent duplicate records. Option C is incorrect as data validation can also run on the server side, not just on the client machine. Option D is false because validation rules can be enforced even during API and import operations. Option E is misleading since users typically do not have the ability to activate or deactivate validation rules at will.
