Why each option

To ensure unique data input into a specific field, a system administrator should configure the field with both the 'Required' and 'Unique' properties.

ARequiredCorrect

Setting the field as 'Required' ensures that users must enter a value into the field before saving the record, preventing empty or null entries.

BUniqueCorrect

Configuring the field as 'Unique' prevents users from saving records with duplicate values in that field, thereby enforcing data uniqueness across all records.

CDefault value

A 'Default value' pre-fills the field but does not enforce uniqueness or ensure a value is entered if the user clears it.

DData Type

The 'Data Type' defines the kind of information the field stores (e.g., text, number) but does not enforce uniqueness or require a value.
