The security team is exploring whether or not the Databricks secrets module can be leveraged...

This is the correct answer because the code is using the dbutils.secrets.get method to retrieve the password from the secrets module and store it in a variable. The secrets module allows users to securely store and access sensitive information such as passwords, tokens, or API keys. The connection to the external table will succeed because the password variable will contain the actual password value. However, when printing the password variable, the string “redacted” will be displayed instead of the plain text password, as a security measure to prevent exposing sensitive information in notebooks.
