Which statement correctly describes the relationship between a report template and a query template?

• A. A report is built from a report template, which uses a query template.
• B. A query template uses a report template.
• C. They are independent.
• D. A report template defines only the layout.

Answer: (A)

In this setup, templates separate how data is fetched from how it’s shown. A report template defines the presentation—where fields appear, page layout, headings, summaries—while a query template specifies the data to fetch (which fields, filters, and data sources). The report uses the data provided by the query template and lays it out according to the report template’s design. So the statement that a report is built from a report template, which uses a query template, captures the correct flow: layout comes from the report template and data comes from the query template. The other ideas don’t fit because they would invert the data-flow, claim independence, or suggest the report template is only about layout without binding to data.
