I remember practicing a question about data models, but I don't think that's what defines a calculated field.

The answer is definitely A. Eval expression. That's the core component needed to create a calculated field in this type of system.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be B) Data model, as the calculation may depend on the underlying data structure.

I don't know, the data model seems important too. Gotta have that underlying structure to build the calcs on, right?
