1. Table
2. Fields
3. Form
4. Records

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Table

The correct answer is Table.

• Tables
  • A table is an entire database list of information. In Excel, we can create many tables. Hence, Option 1 is correct.
  • A table is the primary unit of physical storage for data in a database.
  • When a user accesses the database, a table is usually referenced for the desired data.
  • Multiple tables might comprise a database, therefore a relationship might exist between tables.
  • A table is a collection of related data held in a table format within a database. It consists of columns and rows.
  • In relational databases and flat file databases, a table is a set of data elements (values) using a model of vertical columns (identifiable by name) and horizontal rows, the cell being the unit where a row and column intersect.
  • A table has a specified number of columns but can have any number of rows. 
  • Each row is identified by one or more values appearing in a particular column subset.
  • A specific choice of columns that uniquely identifies rows is called the primary key.
  • The table is another term for relation; although there is the difference in that a table is usually a multiset (bag) of rows where a relation is a set and does not allow duplicates.
  • Besides the actual data rows, tables generally have associated with them some metadata, such as constraints on the table or the values within particular columns.

• Database
  • A database is a collection of related information.
  • We can create a database to manage large lists of data.
  • For example, an address book is a database list of names and addresses of our contacts.
• Fields
  • It is typically the columns we use to define each part of our list in Excel.
  • Field names appear at the top of a list.
• Records
  • Database entries are called records.
  • We use rows to enter each database entry for our list of data.
• Form
  • We can use Data Form to enter records into a database list very quickly.
  • The Data Form is a special dialog box consisting of all the fields in your table.
