Actual data is what will be displayed here. Metadata means data about data eg;who accesses the database, time of access, the size of data etc. They are data about data. So the answer is user data.

Would be right to say that the value of attributes are metadata? for instance; the name is an attribute while the "John" is the value of the name attribute, in this way, in case of value, John to be called the metadata? does it correct? anyone corrects me.
