Database is referred to as 'back end', identify what the interactive program is termed as?

Answer & explanation

Correct answer: option 4

The correct answer is Option (4) → Front-end

Note: This question is from the pre-rationalised NCERT book. The topic is not there in the latest NCERT book (2026-27), but it is still in the CUET 2026 syllabus, so do not skip it.

NCERT (Pre-rationalised edition):
Summary – “… In order to provide security and consistency of data, database is not directly accessible to users. Any addition or retrieval of information from database is done by user-friendly programs. Database is thus rightly referred to as ‘back-end’ while the interactive program, that includes user interface, is termed as ‘front-end’ of a database application.”
