Selected Answer: C
The STREAM function is used to indicate that LIVE.customers is a streaming live table. This allows the query to process real-time streaming data.

c is correct . about D: it can be correct but it is not given the fact it comes from pyspark ; sql supports (at least in databricks) the creation of streaming live table as well so it is not necessasarily from pyspark

Selected Answer: D
Option E, specifying "at least one notebook library to be executed," is not a requirement for setting up a Delta Live Tables pipeline. Delta Live Tables are built on top of Databricks and use notebooks to define the pipeline's logic, but the actual requirement when setting up the pipeline is typically the location where the data will be written to, like a target database or a path to cloud storage. While notebooks may contain the business logic for the transformations and actions within the pipeline, the fundamental requirement for setting up a pipeline is knowing where the data will reside after processing, hence why the location of the target database for the written data is crucial.
