A street address is a primitive data element, because it is a basic unit of data that cannot be further

decomposed into smaller components. A primitive data element has a distinct name, definition,

format, and value domain. A street address can be used to identify the location of an employee or a

customer, and it can be stored as a string or a combination of numbers and characters. Options B, C,

and D are not primitive data elements, because they can be further broken down into smaller

components. For example, a first name can be divided into a prefix, a given name, and a suffix. A

customer name can be composed of a first name and a last name. A work phone number can be split

into a country code, an area code, and a local number. Reference:
