What are databases?

Programs designed to perform specific tasks
A type of hardware
ollections of data stored in a structured format
A type of computer memory

The correct answer is: ollections of data stored in a structured format

Databases are not programs designed to perform specific tasks, they are simply collections of data. While databases do require hardware to function, they are not a type of hardware themselves. Additionally, databases are not computer memory, although they do store data in a structured format. The primary function of a database is to store and organize large amounts of data for easy retrieval and manipulation.
