Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
Exact extract: "A shallow clone creates a copy of the metadata that references the source data files; it is fast and inexpensive." Exact extract: "A deep clone copies the data." Exact extract: "Clones provide a point-in-time snapshot for experimentation without impacting the source." A shallow clone of the production Delta table creates an instantaneous snapshot that references the same data files, so it introduces virtually no downtime or storage overhead and avoids interfering with the ongoing ETL. A deep clone would copy all data (very expensive and slow for 20B rows). CTAS rewrites data and is unnecessary; direct access to prod risks contention and accidental changes.

This is the correct answer because it describes how Delta Lake can help to avoid data loss of this nature in the future. By ingesting all raw data and metadata from Kafka to a bronze Delta table, Delta Lake creates a permanent, replayable history of the data state that can be used for recovery or reprocessing in case of errors or omissions in downstream applications or pipelines. Delta Lake also supports schema evolution, which allows adding new columns to existing tables without affecting existing queries or pipelines. Therefore, if a critical field was omitted from an application that writes its Kafka source to Delta Lake, it can be easily added later and the data can be reprocessed from the bronze table without losing any information.

Explanation
The answer is, They can increase the cluster size anywhere from 2X-Small to 4XL(Scale Up) to review the performance and select the size that meets your SLA. If you are trying to improve the performance of a single query at a time having additional memory, additional worker nodes mean that more tasks can run in a cluster which will improve the performance of that query.
The question is looking to test your ability to know how to scale a SQL Endpoint(SQL Warehouse) and you have to look for cue words or need to understand if the queries are running sequentially or concurrently. if the queries are running sequentially then scale up(Size of the cluster from 2X-Small to 4X-Large) if the queries are running concurrently or with more users then scale out(add more clusters).
SQL Endpoint(SQL Warehouse) Overview: (Please read all of the below points and the below diagram to understand )
1.A SQL Warehouse should have at least one cluster
2.A cluster comprises one driver node and one or many worker nodes
3.No of worker nodes in a cluster is determined by the size of the cluster (2X -Small ->1 worker, X-Small ->2 workers.... up to 4X-Large -> 128 workers) this is called Scale Up
4.A single cluster irrespective of cluster size(2X-Smal.. to ...4XLarge) can only run 10 queries at any given time if a user submits 20 queries all at once to a warehouse with 3X-Large cluster size and cluster scaling (min
1, max1) while 10 queries will start running the remaining 10 queries wait in a queue for these 10 to finish.
5.Increasing the Warehouse cluster size can improve the performance of a query, example if a query runs for 1 minute in a 2X-Small warehouse size, it may run in 30 Seconds if we change the warehouse size to X-Small.
this is due to 2X-Small has 1 worker node and X-Small has 2 worker nodes so the query has more tasks and runs faster (note: this is an ideal case example, the scalability of a query performance depends on many factors, it can not always be linear)
6.A warehouse can have more than one cluster this is called Scale Out. If a warehouse is configured with X-Small cluster size with cluster scaling(Min1, Max 2) Databricks spins up an additional cluster if it detects queries are waiting in the queue, If a warehouse is configured to run 2 clusters(Min1, Max 2), and let's say a user submits 20 queries, 10 queriers will start running and holds the remaining in the queue and databricks will automatically start the second cluster and starts redirecting the 10 queries waiting in the queue to the second cluster.
7.A single query will not span more than one cluster, once a query is submitted to a cluster it will remain in that cluster until the query execution finishes irrespective of how many clusters are available to scale.
Please review the below diagram to understand the above concepts:

Scale-up-> Increase the size of the SQL endpoint, change cluster size from 2X-Small to up to 4X-Large If you are trying to improve the performance of a single query having additional memory, additional worker nodes and cores will result in more tasks running in the cluster will ultimately improve the performance.
During the warehouse creation or after, you have the ability to change the warehouse size (2X-Small....to
...4XLarge) to improve query performance and the maximize scaling range to add more clusters on a SQL Endpoint(SQL Warehouse) scale-out if you are changing an existing warehouse you may have to restart the warehouse to make the changes effective.

Explanation
Answer is Databricks notebooks support automatic change tracking and versioning.
When you are editing the notebook on the right side check version history to view all the changes, every change you are making is captured and saved.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation from Databricks Documentation:
When handling CDC data, sequencing is critical because updates may arrive out of order or multiple changes may occur for the same record at the same timestamp. Databricks' AUTO CDC APIs provide built-in constructs to handle ordering logic.
The correct mechanism is to use the SEQUENCE BY clause in the CDC configuration. Specifically, when both update_timestamp and update_sequence_id exist, the recommended approach is:
SEQUENCE BY STRUCT(event_timestamp, update_sequence_id)
This ensures that within the same record key, the engine applies updates in the exact sequence they occurred, resolving conflicts where multiple updates share the same timestamp but differ in sequence ID.
Option A (track_history_column_list) is used for historical tracking and auditing changes, not for sequencing logic. It ensures lineage but does not enforce correct event order.
Option B (dropDuplicates()) only removes exact duplicates; it cannot guarantee sequencing correctness when multiple updates exist.
Option C is correct: SEQUENCE BY STRUCT(event_timestamp, update_sequence_id) explicitly enforces ordering, as recommended by the CDC pipeline guidelines.
Option D (window function) would be a manual approach in Spark Structured Streaming, but Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines already provide native CDC sequencing support, making this unnecessary.
Thus, the best practice per Databricks CDC documentation is to use Option C with SEQUENCE BY STRUCT.
