Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Key-Value
Why it's wrong here
Key-value stores are simple and lack the querying power required for document structures.
- ✗
Relational (RDBMS)
Why it's wrong here
Relational databases require a predefined schema and are less flexible for semi-structured data.
- ✓
Document-oriented
Why this is correct
Document databases support flexible schemas, making them ideal for JSON-like data.
- ✗
Graph
Why it's wrong here
Graph databases are for managing complex relationships, not for storing semi-structured documents.
