An ML engineer is collecting data to train a classification ML model by using Amazon...

The requirement has two key constraints: detect class imbalance and balance classes without losing any existing data. AWS provides Amazon SageMaker Clarify as the native tool to detect pre-training bias, including class imbalance (CI). CI measures differences in label distributions between classes, and a CI value greater than 0 indicates imbalance.

Once imbalance is detected, the engineer must rebalance the dataset without discarding data. Random undersampling would remove samples from the majority class, violating the requirement. Instead, oversampling is required. SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique) creates synthetic samples for the minority class, preserving all original data while improving class balance.

Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler natively supports SMOTE, making it the correct AWS-managed tool for this preprocessing task.

Options C and D are incorrect because SageMaker JumpStart is used for pretrained models and solutions, not for bias detection reporting. Option A is incorrect because it uses undersampling and misinterprets CI = 0 (which actually indicates no imbalance).

Therefore, detecting imbalance with SageMaker Clarify and correcting it using SMOTE in Data Wrangler is the correct solution.
