Which component could utilize a query's output besides forms?

The selection of reports as the component that could utilize a query's output, besides forms, is accurate because reports are designed specifically to display and analyze data retrieved from various sources, including queries. When a query is executed, it retrieves data from the underlying data source, which can then be directly integrated into reports. This allows users to visualize data in different formats, apply filters, and track key performance indicators, making reports a powerful tool for data presentation.

In contrast, while process models can trigger queries and utilize their results for decision-making, they are more focused on workflow automation and do not directly display query outputs as part of user-facing elements. User security settings concern the access and permissions assigned to users and do not engage with query outputs in a meaningful way. Static text elements serve to present fixed information on interfaces and do not interact with or display dynamic data generated from queries. Thus, reports are the appropriate choice for leveraging the output from queries effectively.
