Selected Answer: C
the LEAST maintenance overhead = C With AUTO distribution, Amazon Redshift assigns an optimal distribution style based on the size of the table data. For example, if AUTO distribution style is specified, Amazon Redshift initially assigns the ALL distribution style to a small table. When the table grows larger, Amazon Redshift might change the distribution style to KEY, choosing the primary key (or a column of the composite primary key) as the distribution key. If the table grows larger and none of the columns are suitable to be the distribution key, Amazon Redshift changes the distribution style to EVEN. The change in distribution style occurs in the background with minimal impact to user queries.
