(a) Functions

(b) Array

(c) Vector

(d) Lists

This question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) Vector

To explain I would say: Vector is a basic data structure in R that contains an element of similar type. These data types in R can be logical, integer, double, character, complex and also raw. In R using the function, typeof() one can check the data type of vector.
