A) business activity.
B) resources affected by the business activity.
C) people who participate in the business activity.
D) place the business activity occurs.

Answer 1

The place where a business activity occurs is not typically recorded in a master file; rather these files document the activities, resources affected, and participants.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data that are most likely not to be recorded in a master file for a business activity is the place where the business activity occurs (D). Master files typically contain detailed information about the business activities, the resources affected by the business activities, and the people who participate in the business activities. These files serve as central repositories for maintaining such data over time. However, while the location can influence economic activities, it is not typically a detail maintained in a master file which focuses more on transactions, resources, and individuals involved.
