B Correct answer
Explanation

In strict relational database terminology, an attribute corresponds to a field - a single property or characteristic of an entity (like 'Name' or 'Age' in a Customer table). A record (incorrect Option A) is a row containing all attribute values for one entity. A table (incorrect Option C) is the entire collection of records. An entity (incorrect Option D) is the object being modeled (like Customer), not its individual properties.
