Why each option
A CSV (Comma Separated Values) file is a simple text file format that stores tabular data. It separates values within each row using a specific delimiter, most commonly a comma.
XML (Extensible Markup Language) uses tags to define elements and attributes, not delimiters, for data separation.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) uses tags to structure content for web pages, not to delimit data values in a tabular format.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) uses key-value pairs and arrays to structure data, not delimiters for separating individual values in a flat tabular structure.
CSV files use a specific delimiter, such as a comma, semicolon, or tab, to separate values (fields) within each row of data. This simple structure makes CSV files widely used for importing and exporting data between different applications and databases.
