Database multiple-choice question don't bs pls

Which of the following is not a common factor for database management system selection?
a. Cost
b. Features and tools
c. Software requirements
d. Hardware requirements
e. All of the above
f. None of the above
(D and F are wrong)

Answer 1

All options listed (cost, features and tools, software requirements, and hardware requirements) are common factors in selecting a Database Management System. Therefore, the expected answer would be e. all of the above, but as per the student's note, there seems to be an error in the question which makes it impossible to provide a definitive answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which factor is not a common consideration for selecting a Database Management System (DBMS). The options include cost, features and tools, software requirements, and hardware requirements. Since hardware requirements are indeed a common factor for DBMS selection, and cost and features and tools are also critical considerations, it is logical to conclude that software requirements are typically a common consideration as well.

However, since both options d. (hardware requirements) and f. (none of the above) are indicated as incorrect by the student, the question seems to have an error or is misleading. Under normal circumstances, all the options listed are common factors for DBMS selection, so e. (all of the above) would be the typical answer, but per the student's guidelines, a definitive answer cannot be provided due to a contradiction in the question.

Answer 2

f. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the available options, the right answer is option F "None of the above."

Common factors for database management system selection are the following:

1. Cost: various DBMS vendors have different pricing, hence, interested buyers will consider the price before selections

2. Features and Tools: different types of DBMS have varied features and tools in carrying out the work.

3. Software requirements: there are various software requirements in various DBMS, such as encryption support, scalability, application-level data recovery, etc.

4. Hardware requirement: various DBMS vendors have different hardware requirements to consider, such as sizeable RAM, CPU value, etc.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option F.
