Bringing data from a .csv file into a spreadsheet is an example of what process?

• A. Importing data
• B. Exporting data
• C. Cleaning data
• D. Visualizing data

Answer: (A)

Bringing data from a CSV file into a spreadsheet is about importing data. Importing means bringing external data into your program so you can work with it alongside any existing data. A CSV is a common plain-text format that stores data in rows and columns, separated by commas, and importing reads that structure into the spreadsheet’s cells so you can analyze or manipulate it.

Exporting would be saving or sending data out of the spreadsheet, not bringing it in. Cleaning data refers to fixing errors, removing duplicates, or standardizing formats after the data is in your system. Visualizing data means creating charts or graphs to illustrate patterns. So the action described aligns with importing data.
