a collection of data about a limited topic, organized into rows and columns.
B
a collection of data that can be sorted and searched using search algorithms.
С
a category of information in a table.
D
a collection of information consisting of one or more related fields about a specific entity.

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section

Explanation:

The correct option to this question is D.

A database record can be best described as the collection of information consisting of one or more related fields about a specific entity. Because a database record represents a record about a specific entity for example a student record studying in a school. A student is a specific entity in the database and it has one or more related fields, for example, name, class, courses in which enrolled etc.

others options are not correct because:

A: a database record is a collection of data about a specific entity and it is not about a limited topic.

B: all database records can be sorted and searched using search algorithms but it is not necessarily because you can search data sometimes using quarries etc.

C: a database record is not a category of information in a table but it is a collection of one or more related field about a specific entity.
