Maya is trying to understand the difference between a DataFrame and a Series in her data analysis class. Can you help her?
A DataFrame is a single column, while a Series can have multiple columns.
A DataFrame is one-dimensional, while a Series is two-dimensional.
A DataFrame is two-dimensional, while a Series is one-dimensional.
