Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: A CSV file is a plain text file containing comma-separated values.
Key points:
A CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file stores tabular data in plain text, with each line representing a row and commas separating columns.
Because it is plain text, a CSV can be opened with text editors and spreadsheet programs.
Example: name,age,city\nAlice,30,Seattle
Why the other choices are incorrect:
Binary file: uses non-text binary encoding, not comma-separated plain text.
MySQL table: a database structure on a server; CSV is a file format that can represent table data but is not a database table itself.
Random file: not a defined format. CSV is a specific, standardized plain-text format.
