Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
A field is a category of data, such as the customer's name or phone number, within a table or a database. A record, on the other hand, is a complete set of fields that contain information about one entity, such as a single customer, within a table. So, while a record encompasses all the fields related to one entity, a field only contains information about one specific aspect or category of that entity.
