The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines ................. as 'a thing that happens or takes place'.
Answer: D
The word the dictionary defines this way is Event.
'A thing that happens or takes place' is the dictionary sense of an event: an occurrence, especially an important one. Information science uses the word in the same sense when it treats an event as something that produces data to be recorded.
Information, data and knowledge are not things that happen. Data are raw recorded facts, information is data processed to have meaning, and knowledge is information understood and organised by a mind, so none of them fits the quoted definition.
