Which of the following actions will NOT make data part of the "create" phase of the cloud data lifecycle?

1. A. Modifying metadata
2. B. Importing data
3. C. Modifying data
4. D. Constructing new data

Correct Answer: A
Although the initial phase is called "create," it can also refer to modification. In essence, any time data is considered "new," it is in the create phase. This can come from data that is newly created, data that is imported into a system and is new to that system, or data that is already present and modified into a new form or value. Modifying the metadata does not change the actual data.
