The correct option is A row

A tuple is equivalent to row.

A relational database, a row also called a tuple represents a single, implicitly structured data item in a table. A database table can be thought of as consisting of rows and columns.

In relational databases, a tuple is one record (one row). The information in a database can be thought of as a spreadsheet, with columns (known as fields or attributes) representing different categories of information, and tuples (rows) representing all the information from each field associated with a single record.
