Explanation

Metadata is defined as "data about the data" - information that describes other data's characteristics, structure, or context (like file size, creation date, column names). It is not machine-level data (raw bits), not just characteristics (a subset), and not relationships between data (which would be schema/foreign keys). Option A is the standard definition.
