D. A sort tool hides records from view but does not remove them from a database, and a filter tool removes unwanted records from a database.

Answer 1

I'd say - D. A sort tool hides records from view but does not remove them from a database, and a filter tool removes unwanted records from a database.

Answer 2

D. A sort tool hides records from view but does not remove them from a database, and a filter tool removes unwanted records from a database.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you want to sort items, you want to order them by importance, not remove anything. You can sort by field, timestamp, etc. If a record is not important in your sorting, it will be way down the list, so basically hidden.

When you want to filter something, you want to remove something.

So the correct answer is:

D. A sort tool hides records from view but does not remove them from a database, and a filter tool removes unwanted records from a database.
