Why each option
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain-text tabular format where each row represents a record and columns are delimited by commas, with no enforced schema or data types.
YAML uses indentation-based hierarchical key-value pairs and is typically used for configuration files, not tabular row-and-column data.
CSV is a flat, text-based format that stores tabular data as rows of values separated by a delimiter (typically a comma). It is one of the most widely used formats for data exchange due to its simplicity and human readability, though it lacks built-in support for data types, nested structures, or compression.
JSON uses curly-brace objects and square-bracket arrays to represent nested, hierarchical data structures, which is visually distinct from the flat row/column structure of CSV.
HTML uses angle-bracket tags to mark up content for web browsers and is not a data serialization or tabular data format.
