Answer 1

Answer: Entity, attribute

Step-by-step explanation:

A record describes an entity which is a person, place, thing, or event on which we store and maintain information. Each characteristics or quality describing a particular entity is called an attribute.

An entity is something that just exists. It's a concept that can be used in various forms. In this case we're talking about an entity as the object of importance in a record, that being a person, place, thing or event.

An attribute is (are) a characteristic(s) or quality(ties) that can be found in animated or inanimated objects.
