Explanation

Attributes (A) is correct because, in data modeling, the individual pieces of information that describe an entity - such as a customer's name, email, or age - are called attributes. They define the characteristics or properties of a data set and map directly to columns in a database table.

Constraints (B) are rules applied to fields (e.g., NOT NULL, UNIQUE, FOREIGN KEY) - they govern what values are allowed, but they are not the fields themselves.

Memory tip: Think of an attribute like an adjective - just as adjectives describe a noun, attributes describe the data entity. "Customer" is the entity; "name," "age," and "email" are its attributes.
