What types of fields are considered not editable in a survey?

The correct choice identifies metadata and the viewing order of randomized elements as types of fields that are not editable in a survey. Metadata refers to information that provides context or additional details about the data being collected, such as timing, respondent ID, or survey conditions. This information is crucial for analysis but is generally fixed and not subject to change during the survey creation or response process.

The viewing order of randomized elements is another feature that is set for the survey's functionality. Once the randomization is established, it cannot be altered by respondents or even during the survey administration; it ensures that each respondent has a unique experience while preserving the integrity of the randomized design.

The other options contain types of fields that can be edited during or before the administration of the survey. For instance, text fields and multiple-choice fields allow respondents to provide their answers, and question text can be modified by the survey creator to best fit the objectives of the survey. Aesthetic fields and formatting options involve how the survey is presented visually, which can also be adjusted by the creator to improve respondent engagement or clarify instructions. In contrast, the nature of metadata and randomized viewing order reinforces their status as non-editable elements in the survey structure.
