Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A transaction is a set of operations that are executed as a single unit of work, meaning that either all of the operations are completed successfully, or none of them are committed to the database. This helps to maintain the consistency and integrity of the database. Option A refers to translation, which is not related to transactions. Option B refers to database transfers, which may or may not involve transactions. Option C refers to partial updates, which are not allowed in a transaction as it violates the atomicity property.
