Answer: (ii) knowledge discovery in databases

KDD stands for Knowledge Discovery in Databases — the overall, multi-step process of turning raw data into useful, actionable knowledge. Data mining is technically just one step within KDD (the pattern-extraction step), while KDD as a whole covers:

Data ─▶ Selection ─▶ Preprocessing ─▶ Transformation ─▶ Data Mining ─▶ Interpretation/Evaluation ─▶ Knowledge

People often use "data mining" and "KDD" interchangeably in casual usage, but formally, data mining is embedded inside the broader KDD pipeline.
