Which of the following is found in metadata?

Transformations are operations applied to data, not metadata about the data itself, although metadata might describe *how* a transformation occurred (data lineage).

Data lineage describes the origin, movement, and transformations of data over its lifecycle, which is a *type* of metadata, but "Variable types" is a more direct characteristic *found within* metadata.

Syntax refers to the rules governing the structure of a language (like SQL or Python), not an inherent characteristic of the data itself that would be found in metadata.

Metadata is data about data. It describes the characteristics of data, and this includes information like variable types (e.g., integer, string, date, boolean), which specifies the kind of data stored in a particular field or column.
