What term describes a single record in a table with exactly one value for each column?

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

Answer: (B)

A single row in a relational table represents one complete record, with one value in each column. Each column holds a specific attribute, so a row collects all those attributes for one particular entity, like one person or one product. For example, a row might have an ID, a name, and a department, giving the full set of details for that one entry. A field refers to a single piece of data within a row at a specific column, not the whole record. A table (relation) is the entire set of rows and columns. A view is a saved query that presents data from tables as a virtual table.
