Explanation

Data discovery refers to the processes used to identify and classify data within an environment. The three recognized methods are: label-based (relying on tags or labels manually or automatically applied to data), content-based (inspecting actual file contents to classify data), and metadata-based (using attributes such as file type, size, creation date, or owner). 'User-based' is not a recognized data discovery method - users may apply labels, but that falls under label-based discovery, not a separate category.
