A data analyst has been asked to use the below tablesales_tableto get the percentage rank...

The correct query to get the percentage rank of products within region by the sales is option B. This query uses the PERCENT_RANK() window function to calculate the relative rank of each product within each region based on the sales amount. The window function is partitioned by region and ordered by sales in descending order. The result is aliased as rank and displayed along with the region and product columns. The other options are incorrect because:

A. Option A uses the RANK() window function instead of the PERCENT_RANK() function. The RANK() function returns the rank of each row within the partition, but not the percentage rank. Also, the query does not have a GROUP BY clause, which is required for aggregate functions like SUM().

C. Option C uses the DENSE_RANK() window function instead of the PERCENT_RANK() function. The DENSE_RANK() function returns the rank of each row within the partition, but not the percentage rank. Also, the query does not have a GROUP BY clause, which is required for aggregate functions like SUM().

D. Option D uses the ROW_NUMBER() window function instead of the PERCENT_RANK() function. The ROW_NUMBER() function returns the sequential number of each row within the partition, but not the percentage rank. Also, the query does not have a GROUP BY clause, which is required for aggregate functions like SUM(). References:
