Which of the following is an example of a non-relational database?

  1. Oracle

  2. Microsoft Access

  3. Excel

  4. MongoDB

The correct answer is: MongoDB

MongoDB is an example of a non-relational database because it uses a document-oriented data model instead of a traditional tabular structure like the other options listed. Oracle and Microsoft Access are both relational databases, which means they store data in tables with rows and columns. Excel is not a database at all, but a spreadsheet program used for organizing and analyzing data. Therefore, MongoDB is the only option that does not use the traditional relational structure, making it the correct answer.
