Answer 1

Answer:

b) Data converted into a meaningful and useful context.

Explanation:

Information described by the Merriam Webster dictionary is “the communication or reception of knowledge and intelligence. Knowledge obtained from investigation, study or instruction”. Information described by the Cambridge Dictionary is “news, facts, or knowledge”. Inferring on these two meanings, we could state that the correct answer is the letter (b). Information is a collection of data converted into a meaningful and useful context.
