You have a MySQL table named customers with columns named id, name, address, and country.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

To filter records based on a specific country dynamically, the best approach isusing a tDBInput component with a context variable in the SQL query (Option A).

Step-by-Step Process:

Define a Context Variable:

In theContext Variablessection of Talend Studio, create a new variable (context.country) and set its value dynamically.

Configure tDBInput:

Drag and drop the tDBInput component onto theDesigner.

Set up thedatabase connectionusing either Built-in or Repository mode.

In theQuery field, write:

SELECT id, name, address, country FROM customers WHERE country = '" + context.country + "'

Execute the Job:

The Job will retrieveonly those records where the country column matches the value of the context variable.

The value of context.country can be modified at runtime, making the querydynamic.

Why not other options?

tMatchGroup (Option B):Used for record deduplication, not filtering.

Run if Trigger (Option C):Controls execution flow but does not filter records inside tDBInput.

tFilterColumns (Option D):Removes unwanted columns but does not filter records based on conditions.
