Which type of calculation returns the maximum value among two or more values?

• A. Sum
• B. Average
• C. Aggregate
• D. Logic

Answer: (C)

Taking the maximum value from two or more numbers is an aggregation task: you gather all values and reduce them to a single result—the largest one. In calculations, the aggregate category covers these reduction functions, such as maximum, minimum, sum, and average. So when asked which type returns the maximum, the aggregate type is the best fit because it’s designed to summarize a set of values into a single value. For example, with values 5, 12, and 9, the aggregate maximum would be 12. Sum would add them to 26, average would yield 8, and logic would evaluate conditions to true/false.
