Explanation

Metadata literally means "data about data" - it describes a file or object without being the actual content itself. File information (A) such as filename, size, creation date, and permissions is classic metadata, and content information (B) such as author, tags, title, or description also qualifies as metadata since it describes what the file contains rather than being the raw data itself. Options C and D - object data and file data - refer to the actual payload or binary content stored in a file, which is the data that metadata describes, not metadata itself.

Memory tip: Think of metadata as the label on a box (file info + content info), not the items inside the box (file/object data). If you can read it without opening the box, it's metadata.
