Which process aggregates data, analyzes it, and sells the results of their analysis?

• A. Data broking
• B. Data mining
• C. Big Data
• D. Agency

Answer: (A)

Data brokering is the practice of gathering data from many sources, combining it (aggregating), analyzing it to generate insights or profiles, and then selling those results to clients. This directly matches the described process of aggregating data, analyzing it, and monetizing the analysis. Data mining is a method for finding patterns inside datasets and isn’t inherently about selling the results or aggregating data for sale. Big data refers to the size and handling of large datasets, not a business process of monetizing analyses. An agency is simply an organization that may perform such tasks, not the process itself.
