Why each option
The DIKW model describes a hierarchy - Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom - where only Wisdom cannot be produced or delivered by a tool because it requires human judgment and experience.
Knowledge can be provided by tools such as knowledge management systems, knowledge bases, and expert systems that store and retrieve applied information.
Information can be provided by tools through processing, structuring, and contextualizing raw data into meaningful output.
Wisdom sits at the top of the DIKW (Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom) pyramid and represents the ability to make sound judgments and correct decisions based on experience and context. Unlike the other three levels, wisdom is a distinctly human cognitive capacity that cannot be generated or delivered by any tool, system, or technology - it requires human understanding and moral reasoning.
Data, as raw unprocessed facts and figures, is routinely collected and provided by tools such as monitoring systems, sensors, and databases.
