A list stores elements by sequential position, whereas a dictionary associates values with unique keys. What design consequence follows from this difference when choosing how to represent entity data?

A. A dictionary requires meaningful identifiers rather than sequence

Positional sequences rely on an item's place in line, whereas map-like structures depend entirely on distinct lookup labels. Dictionaries do not sort their entries numerically or alphabetically, nor do lists restrict repeated elements or permit arbitrary retrieval without an index.
