What is the most commonly used method of accessing data stored in a database?

Direct access
Query
Sequential access
Maps

The correct answer is: Query

Query is the most commonly used method of accessing data stored in a database because it allows for specific and targeted retrieval of data. Direct access, while fast, can be difficult to implement and not all databases support it. Sequential access does not efficiently retrieve specific data and Maps are typically used for storage and retrieval of data in a specific format, rather than accessing a larger database.
