The size of a data item is called its _______, which can be a field of some record or may be a larger unit such as a record.

  • A.Similarity
  • B.Granularity
  • C.Dimensionality
  • D.Arity

Answer: B

Correct answer: Granularity

Granularity is the size of the item a lock or an operation applies to - a field, a record, a page, a whole table. Fine granularity allows more concurrency but costs more in locking overhead, which is the trade-off the term exists to describe.
