Option D, no doubt. The rare command is all about finding the fields with the least amount of data. It's like a treasure hunt, but for the most barren parts of your dataset!

Hmm, I was stuck between A and D, but now I'm convinced D is the answer. Though I must say, sorting fields in descending order seems like a pretty niche use case.

Option B? Really? Who needs to return only fields with five or fewer values? That's way too specific. D is clearly the way to go.
