Answer: A) Indexes are locations of tables within a database.

Step-by-step explanation: The index of a database is a data structure that improves the speed of operations, by means of a unique identifier of each row of a table, allowing rapid access to the records of a table in a database. It has an operation similar to the index of a book, keeping pairs of elements: the element to be indexed and its position in the database.
