What are the basic components of an attribute query?

1. Attribute value, operator, and data type

2. Attribute field, operator, and data source

3. Attribute field, attribute value, and operator

4. Attribute field, data type, and value

The correct answer is: Attribute field, attribute value, and operator

The basic components of an attribute query are the attribute field, attribute value, and operator. An attribute field refers to the specific piece of data or the column within a table that you want to query. For example, if you are working with a dataset of cities, the attribute field might be "Population" or "City Name." The attribute value is the specific data that you are looking for within that attribute field. Continuing with the cities example, if you are interested in querying for cities with a population of over 100,000, then "100000" would be your attribute value. The operator is used to define the relationship between the attribute field and the attribute value, guiding the query on how to filter the data. Common operators include equals (=), greater than (>), less than (<), and not equal (<>). This combination allows users to construct precise and meaningful queries that extract the necessary information from datasets, making it a fundamental aspect of working with data in tools like ArcGIS Pro. The other options present incorrect combinations or elements that do not accurately represent the essential components of an attribute query.
