Which of the following describes a benefit of creating an external table from Parquet rather...

 Option C is the correct answer because Parquet files have a well-defined schema that is embedded within the data itself. This means that the data types and column names of the Parquet files are automatically detected and preserved when creating an external table from them. This also enables the use of SQL and other structured query languages to access and analyze the data. CSV files, on the other hand, do not have a schema embedded in them, and require specifying the schema explicitly or inferring it from the data when creating an external table from them. This can lead to errors or inconsistencies in the data types and column names, and also increase the processing time and complexity.
