Answer: D

Explanation:

Master Data, similar to a physical product, must meet certain requirements such as fitting consumers’ needs, needing information about its characteristics, impacting business when unavailable, and having a useful lifespan. However, unlike physical products, Master Data does not deplete when pulled from inventory. Master Data remains available for use even after being accessed multiple times, as it is digital information that can be replicated and shared without loss.
