I’m leaning towards D too. It’s not essential for inventory.

Right, D is more technical. The other options are more about management.

I feel like A and B are definitely covered. D is just about type.

I think the answer is D. The format isn't really about location or usage.

I agree with Steffanie, but I also think that data usage is definitely part of it. This is tricky!

I feel like the answer is B, but I can't quite recall if data protection is typically included in a data inventory.

I remember a practice question that asked about data formats, and I think that's something a data inventory would cover.

I think a data inventory helps with understanding where data is located and how it's used, but I'm not sure about the protection aspect.
