Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of raw data?

The correct answer is option 2: It is often very small but cumbersome to handle.

The unclassified data or raw data are highly disorganised. They are often very large and cumbersome to handle. To draw meaningful conclusions from them is a tedious task because they do not yield to statistical methods easily. Therefore proper organisation and presentation of such data is needed before any systematic statistical analysis is undertaken. Hence after collecting data the next step is to organise and present them in a classified form.
