What term describes a set of rows of a certain entity-type, i.e., all rows share the same structure?

• A. Row
• B. View
• C. Table (= Relation)
• D. Field

Answer: (C)

In a relational database, the term that describes a set of rows for a particular entity type is a table (also called a relation). The table defines the columns (the attributes) that every row shares, such as an ID, name, and email. Each row is one instance of that entity, but the collection of all rows with the same columns is the table. A single row is just one record, not the whole set. A field is a single column value within a row, and a view is a virtual, query-defined table—not the stored container for an entity’s rows.
