I feel like this question is similar to one we practiced on external data sources. I think D might be the answer since it mentions how data is stored externally.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about external tables not being read/write. Could A be misleading?

I think external tables are more about how data is accessed rather than how it's stored. So maybe B is the right choice?
