ENUM
NCLOB
BLOB

Expert Solution

Step 1

The answer will be BLOB (option 4)

Explanation:-

The BLOB stands for Binary large object, it is a data type that stores the binary data. BLOBs(Binary large objects) can be the complex files like, the images, PDF files, sound, audio files or videos, unlike the other data strings that only store the letters and numbers.
A BLOB(Binary large objects) will hold the multimedia objects to add to the database; however, not all the databases support the BLOB storage because of their complex nature, BLOBs(Binary large objects) will also not be easily readable by the most databases. These file types are better comprehended by the humans instead of the software. The complexity of the BLOB(Binary large objects) both gives it its value, but it can also make it difficult to utilize.
Although they can consist of either the structured data or unstructured data. BLOBs(Binary large objects) are mostly used in the Standard query language(SQL) to store the unstructured data files because BLOBs are used to store the multimedia files, they are often the large pieces of data, up to several gigabytes(GBs). Even though this kind of data is not easily read by the databases or the algorithms, But they are still important pieces of the data to store the business/organization.
