Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Is the zip code missing in the address?

Explanation:

There are five (5) characteristics high-quality information must fulfill: accuracy, completeness, consistency, uniqueness, and timeliness. The timeliness feature states that for information to be valuable it must focus on updated data. If firms want to succeed in the digital era we are living, companies must find a way to keep their records up to date.

Thus, questions such as "Is the information current with respect to business needs?", "Is the customer address current?", and "Is the information updated weekly or hourly?" reflect the interest for keeping data up to date in a firm but  "Is the zip code missing in the address?" is a question related to the completeness characteristic of high-quality information.
