The statement that is true of data characteristics is that an appropriate relationship should exist between the cost of data and its value. This means that the cost of data should be proportional to its value or usefulness. Data should not be excessively expensive, nor should it be too cheap, because this could affect its quality or accuracy. The other statements are not necessarily true, as data does not need to be generated in excess, it should be relevant to the subject and context, and freely available data may not always be accurate or timely.
