What term is used to refer to the structure of a database?

Schema
Entity
Table
Query

The correct answer is: Schema

A schema refers to the overall design or structure of a database, including the organization of tables, relationships between them, and constraints on the data. This option is correct because it directly addresses the structure of the database, while the other options relate to specific components within a database. An entity is an object or concept that exists and has properties, but does not necessarily refer to the overall structure. A table is a set of data organized in rows and columns, but it is not specific to databases and may also refer to other types of data structures. A query is a request for data from a database, but it does not necessarily refer to the structure itself.
