C)
sequential file organization
D)
indexed sequential file organization

Correct Answer : Option (A) - direct file organization

Hashing is the transformation of a string of characters into a usually shorter fixed-length value or key that represents the original string. Hashing is used to index and retrieve items in a database because it is faster to find the item using the shorter hashed key than to find it using the original value.
