With advances in information technology, at least 93% of information generated today is created using digital technology. Which term completes the sentence?

• A. Velocity and standardization
• B. Volume and duplicity
• C. Variety and redundancy
• D. Visibility and accuracy

Answer: (B)

This item focuses on big data in the digital age—the idea that the vast amount of information produced is closely tied to copies of data across systems. The term that fits best is volume, highlighting the enormous scale of data generated because digital tools make creation, capture, and storage so easy. It’s paired with duplicity to acknowledge that many copies of data exist—through backups, data sharing, and system integrations—leading to duplicate records.

In health information management, this means you’re dealing with huge data volumes and the need to identify and manage duplicates to maintain data quality and accuracy. The other terms don’t fit as well: velocity speaks to how fast data moves, variety to the different types of data, and visibility and accuracy to accessibility and truth of data rather than how much data is produced. Duplicity specifically points to duplicates, which is why volume and duplicity best complete the idea.
