What is the term for a single data item located at the intersection of a row and a column?

• A. Field
• B. Value
• C. Column
• D. Attribute

Answer: (B)

Think of a table as a grid where rows are records and columns are attributes. The data item at the exact intersection of one row and one column is the actual content stored there—the value. It’s the concrete piece of data for that specific record and attribute, like a numerical score or a name. The column defines what kind of data you’re collecting (the attribute), the row identifies which record, and the value is the specific data entry in that cell. In short, that intersection holds the value.
