Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 253

An organization needs to store structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in its raw, native format in the same repository.
Which cloud data management solution should the organization use?

Answer options

• A. Data field
• B. Data lake
• C. Database
• D. Data warehouse

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Data lake, because it is designed to store diverse data types in their raw form, making it suitable for both structured and unstructured data. Options A, C, and D do not support the same flexibility; for example, a Database is typically used for structured data, while a Data warehouse is optimized for analysis of structured data, and a Data field is not a recognized storage solution.
