I agree, A makes sense. External tables are meant for that.

Not sure about this... can external tables really point to managed locations?

Wait, why would you use a managed table for this? Seems off.

I thought managed tables were more common for this kind of scenario, but I guess if it needs to be external, A seems like the best choice.

I’m leaning towards A as well, but I’m a bit confused about the differences in how the schema is managed.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about managed vs. external tables. Could it be B? I feel like I saw a similar question in practice.

I think the answer might be A, since it mentions an external table pointing to a specific path, which seems to fit the requirement.
