    ACCA · Question 15 · Syllabus C: Business functions, regulation and technology

    [Section A] A global retail chain analyzes petabytes of data daily. This data includes structured sales transactions from their POS systems, unstructured social media comments, and real-time video feeds from in-store cameras. In the context of Big Data, the inclusion of text, video, and numerical data primarily illustrates which of the '3 Vs'?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Volume

    B.

    Velocity

    C.

    Variety

    D.

    Veracity

    How to approach this question

    Match the description of 'different data formats' to the correct 'V' of Big Data.

    Full Answer

    C.Variety✓ Correct
    The 3 Vs of Big Data are Volume (amount), Velocity (speed), and Variety (types). Because the retailer is mixing structured data (sales numbers) with unstructured data (social media text, video feeds), this specifically illustrates 'Variety'.

    Common mistakes

    Selecting Volume because 'petabytes' is mentioned. Read the question carefully: it asks what the 'inclusion of text, video, and numerical data' illustrates.
