3. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Storing data at many places is probably called redundancy,that is storing mirror image of the data.
4. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a special-purpose domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS).

    A. Field B. Records C. Reports D. Files E. None of these

4. The term ‘interface’ refers to ___
    A. What the user sees on the screen and how they can interact with it B. set of commands or menus through which a user communicates with a program C. The means by which the user interacts with the peripheral devices on the computer D. The monitor that is available for the computer E. None of these

5. Which of the following controls the manner of interaction between the user and the operating system?
    A. Language translator B. Platform C. User interface D. Icon E. None of these

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
Sorting refers to arranging data in a particular format. Sorting algorithm specifies the way to arrange data in a particular order.
2. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
Cache memory is random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM.
Note:- This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.
3. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
In MS-access the row of table corresponds to Record. A record is a collection of elements, typically in fixed number and sequence and typically indexed by serial numbers or identity numbers.
4. Answer - Option B
