What information is commonly stored in a document's metadata?

• A. Author, title, creation date, modification date
• B. Encrypted content only
• C. Video resolution
• D. Network addresses

Answer: (A)

Metadata is information about a document that describes its properties and history, separate from the actual content. The author identifies who created it, the title gives the document’s name, and the creation and modification dates track when it was first made and last changed. These attributes are stored so tools can organize, search, and manage files without needing to read the full text. Encrypted content is the actual data inside the file, not metadata. Video resolution applies to multimedia files, not typical documents, and network addresses describe where a file is located rather than the document’s intrinsic properties. So, author, title, creation date, and modification date are the kinds of details commonly stored as metadata.
