Question

the best way to prevent \garbage output\ is with:
(1 point)
o a database.
data validation.
o user data.
o data analytics

Explanation:

Data validation checks input data for accuracy and quality. It ensures only valid data enters a system, preventing "garbage output" (incorrect or useless results). A database stores data but doesn't inherently prevent bad input. User data is just input; without validation, it could be faulty. Data analytics analyzes data (including potentially bad data if not validated first). So data validation is key to stopping bad input that leads to garbage output.

Answer:

data validation
