Question

Tyler deletes the document, so it goes into the Recycle Bin. What type of data is it?

A.Active data
B.Latent data
C.Archival data
D.Metadata
E.None of the above

Answer 1

The correct answer is 'Active data' since the document in the Recycle Bin is easily accessible and modifiable until it is permanently deleted.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Tyler deletes a document and it goes into the Recycle Bin, the data classification type it falls under is Active data. The term 'active data' refers to information that is readily available for access and modification, and though it is moved to the Recycle Bin, it has not been permanently removed from the filesystem; hence it is deemed as active until it is permanently deleted. It is not yet latent data, archival data, or metadata and certainly not 'None of the above' since those classifications do not accurately describe a file simply moved to the Recycle Bin.

It is not yet latent data, archival data, or metadata and certainly not 'None of the above' since those classifications do not accurately describe a file simply moved to the Recycle Bin.The Recycle Bin is a temporary storage location for deleted files. So, the type of data that the document becomes when it is in the Recycle Bin is called Archival data.
