Markdown-based text boxes are useful as labels on a dashboard. They allow the data analyst to add text to a dashboard using the %md magic command in a notebook cell and then select the dashboard icon in the cell actions menu. The text can be formatted using markdown syntax and can include headings, lists, links, images, and more. The text boxes can be resized and moved around on the dashboard using the float layout option.Reference:Dashboards in notebooks,How to add text to a dashboard in Databricks

An external table is a table that is defined in the metastore, but its data is stored outside of the Databricks environment, such as in S3, ADLS, or GCS. When an external table is dropped, only the metadata is deleted from the metastore, but the data files are not affected. This is different from a managed table, which is a table whose data is stored in the Databricks environment, and whose data files are deleted when the table is dropped. To delete the data files of an external table, the analyst needs to specify the PURGE option in the DROP TABLE command, or manually delete the files from the storage system.Reference:DROP TABLE,Drop Delta table features,Best practices for dropping a managed Delta Lake table

A Sankey diagram is a type of visualization that shows the flow of data between different nodes or categories. It is often used to represent the movement of users through a website, as it can show the paths they take, the sources they come from, the pages they visit, and the outcomes they achieve. A Sankey diagram consists of links and nodes, where the links represent the volume or weight of the flow, and the nodes represent the stages or steps of the flow. The width of the links is proportional to the amount of flow, and the color of the links can indicate different attributes or segments of the flow. A Sankey diagram can help identify the most common or popular user journeys, the bottlenecks or drop-offs in the flow, and the opportunities for improvement or optimization.Reference: The answer can be verified from Databricks documentation which provides examples and instructions on how to create Sankey diagrams using Databricks SQL Analytics and Databricks Visualizations.

The SQL query provided is designed to filter out records from ''my_table'' where the age is 75 or above and the country is Canada. Since I can't view the content of the links provided directly, I need to rely on the image attached to this question for context. Based on that, Option E (the image attached) represents a table with columns ''age'' and ''country'', showing records where age is 75 or above and country is Canada.Reference: The answer can be inferred from understanding SQL queries and their outputs as per Databricks documentation:Databricks SQL

A Delta Lake-based data lakehouse is a data platform architecture that combines the scalability and flexibility of a data lake with the reliability and performance of a data warehouse. One of the key advantages of using a Delta Lake-based data lakehouse over common data lake solutions is that it supports ACID transactions, which ensure data integrity and consistency. ACID transactions enable concurrent reads and writes, schema enforcement and evolution, data versioning and rollback, and data quality checks. These features are not available in traditional data lakes, which rely on file-based storage systems that do not support transactions.Reference:
