Answer

Data abstraction is an act of representing the essential features without knowing the background details.

As an example, lets consider the electrical switchboard. Switchboard provides us a very simple way to switch ON/OFF lights, fans and other electrical appliances. It hides all the details like the internal wiring of the house, how the switch is turning the light ON/OFF, etc.
