CSV File Usage

B.

A CSV (Comma Separated Values) file is a type of file format commonly used for storing and exchanging data between applications. It is a simple text file where each line represents a record, and each field in the record is separated by a comma.

Among the given options, the database concept that would MOST likely use a CSV file is data importing (option C). Data importing refers to the process of bringing data from external sources into a database. CSV files are a popular format for data import because they are simple, lightweight, and easy to generate from other applications such as spreadsheets or databases.

Here are brief explanations of why the other options are less likely to use a CSV file:

• Data querying (option A) refers to the process of retrieving data from a database using queries. CSV files are not designed for querying data; they are simply a storage format for data.
• Data reports (option B) refer to the process of generating formatted and summarized data from a database. CSV files can be used as a data source for generating reports, but they are not ideal for this purpose because they lack formatting and metadata.
• Data persistence (option D) refers to the ability of a database to retain data even after the application that created it is closed. CSV files are not designed for data persistence because they are typically overwritten or deleted when new data is imported into the database.

In summary, CSV files are most commonly used for data import into a database.
