Answer options

• D. A job that queries aggregated data designed to feed into a dashboard
• E. A job that ingests raw data from a streaming source into the Lakehouse

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a Gold table typically contains cleaned and aggregated data ready for analysis, making it suitable for dashboard queries. Options A, B, and C involve data transformation processes that do not utilize Gold tables directly, while option E refers to raw data ingestion, which is not relevant to Gold table usage.
