Databricks Associate Practice Exam -query

Dear Experts,

Can anyone please let me know how option "C" is the answer to Question 31 for PracticeExam-DataEngineerAssociate.

https://files.training.databricks.com/assessments/practice-exams/PracticeExam-DataEngineerAssociate....

Since option "C" contains the average function it can't be the correct option as aggregation is from the Silver to the Gold table as per my understanding.

I agree that I would not put it as the correct option as it can be controversial as we make calculations and not only data cleaning.

But anyway I would choose C

as A and B contains aggregation, and agg means gold.

D and E are copying data without changes, so it is still bronze.

Question 17 is even worse.

"A data engineer is overwriting data" vs "should simply be overwritten instead"

One situation I assume is DROP and CREATE and another is INSERT INTO OVERWRITE but here both are called the same.

A data engineer is overwriting data in a table by deleting the table and recreating the table.

Another data engineer suggests that this is inefficient and the table should simply be

overwritten instead.
