Which of the following statements about case sensitivity is true?

Answer options

• A. Both field names and field values ARE case sensitive.
• B. Field names ARE case sensitive; field values are NOT.
• C. Field values ARE case sensitive; field names ARE NOT.
• D. Both field names and field values ARE NOT case sensitive.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because in many programming contexts, field names are treated as case sensitive, meaning 'Name' and 'name' would be considered different. Conversely, field values are often not case sensitive, allowing for variations in capitalization without affecting their equality.
