DA0-002 Data Governance Practice Question
Network Topology
Refer to the exhibit. The data shows sales by product category for two years. Which product category had the highest percentage increase from 2023 to 2024?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between absolute increase and percentage increase, leading candidates to mistakenly choose Clothing because it has the largest absolute dollar increase ($10,000), while the question asks for the highest percentage increase.
