    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Data can be defined as pictures, numbers, or words with no context. It refers to raw facts or observations that have not been organized or processed in any meaningful way. Data by itself does not provide any understanding or meaning, and it requires further analysis and interpretation to become useful information or knowledge. Therefore, data without context lacks any meaningful explanation or interpretation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Information
    Explanation
    When data has a meaning for the recipient, it is known as information.
