What does the term "knowledge" refer to in informatics?

Data synthesis that is always evolving
Keyboard inputs and text entries
Raw facts collected from various sources
Simple data entries and unprocessed facts

The correct answer is: Data synthesis that is always evolving

In informatics, the term "knowledge" refers to data synthesis that is always evolving. Unlike raw data (choice C), knowledge involves the interpretation and organization of data to derive meaningful insights. Similarly, keyboard inputs and text entries (choice B) primarily pertain to the data input process, whereas simple data entries and unprocessed facts (choice D) do not encompass the depth of understanding and interpretation that defines knowledge in the informatics field.
