Devin Lamb · Answer 1

This question refers to the difference between information and data. For that reason:

Answer:

d) data that have been organized and processed to provide meaning and improve decision making.

Explanation:

Data are facts that are still unorganized and unprocessed. For that reason, they are practically useless and random. However, once they are organized, structured, processed or presented while included in a certain context or according to certain requirements, those facts become useful and meaningful. That is information.
