B is correct. QuantityPerUnit column from the Products table is not necessary for the analysis. Discontinued products may not be filtered out because OrderDetails can still have foreign key referencing to them (historical data must be kept).

Selected Answer: B
In Option A, it's expected to be one row per CategoryID (dimension table) therefore grouping data using it would change nothing In Option D, changing data type for OrderID column would break relationship between "Orders" and Order Details" tables (moreover, integer data type usually takes less space than text data type) Filtering discontinued products could remove some rows from our data model (depending on how many discontinued products could be in the data table) but it would impact older reports in periods where it could happen these products were not discontinued yet and there is a requirement "The reports must show historical data for the current calendar year and the last three calendar years." The "QuantityPerUnit" field is not explicitely mentioned to be used in any report hence we can remove this entire column and save that storage in our data model

The QuantityPerUnit column from the Products table is not necessary for the analysis, so that is the correct answer. Filtering does not affect the size of the dataset, so as the grouping.

Filtering rows during import DOES affect the size of the dataset. I think that the correct argumentation should be that discontinued products may not be filtered out because OrderDetails can still have foreign key referencing to them.
