Practice question for data engineer exam

A data engineer, User A, has promoted a pipeline to production by using the REST API to programmatically create several jobs. A DevOps engineer, User B, has configured an external orchestration tool to trigger job runs through the REST API. Both users authorized the REST API calls using their personal access tokens.

A workspace admin, User C, inherits responsibility for managing this pipeline. User C uses the Databricks Jobs UI to take “Owner” privileges of each job. Jobs continue to be triggered using the credentials and tooling configured by User B.

An application has been configured to collect and parse run information returned by the REST API. Which statement describes the value returned in the creator_user_name field?

A. Once User C takes “Owner” privileges, their email address will appear in this field; prior to this, User A’s email address will appear in this field.
B. User B’s email address will always appear in this field, as their credentials are always used to trigger the run.
C. User A’s email address will always appear in this field, as they still own the underlying notebooks.
D. Once User C takes “Owner” privileges, their email address will appear in this field; prior to this, User B’s email address will appear in this field.
E. User C will only ever appear in this field if they manually trigger the job, otherwise it will indicate User B.

Option C will be the right answer in my perspective. Though a job ownership is transferred to another user, creater_user field will never change. In fact, "Creater User" field in job details panel is non-editable field.

If I am wrong, clarification will be much appreciated.
